Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Kurt is looking for the perfect home. We think he is around 4 or 5 years old. He absolutely craves love and attention and enjoys giving big dogo hugs and kisses. He would do best in a home with a confident experienced adopter who would work with him on his training and provide him with plenty of exercise. He has not been reactive with other dogs and could possibly do well with a submissive female with proper introductions. We do not recommend a home with cats, small dogs or small children. Kurt is a big love bug and would be so happy to be someone's adventure buddy. He is currently being fostered in Central Texas but would happily go on a road trip to the right forever home.
Dogos are a wonderful breed but we urge anyone interested to dig in and do a lot of research before deciding if they are a good fit for your home. They require a lot of attention and training with them never ends! Boundaries must be enforced and they often need reminders as they push past boundaires you set! Dogos are loving, kind and gentle but don't mistake that for weakness because they are equally powerful and intense as well! Everyone in the home must be on board with having a dogo and play a major role in their daily routines and training. Yes it is work, but the rewards are ten-fold! Lazy homes don't work for dogos as they need stimulation, exercise, and lots of attention too during their younger years. Our goal in rescue is to be as transparent as we can about each and every dog plus make sure new families really understand the needs of a dogo!
