UPDATE 4/11/21 (by Sigrid):
General came to us from animal control like a frightened rabbit, during the last week of April. We aren’t sure of his breed, maybe Labrador and some type of herding shepherd. His Black and Tan markings have made some say he looks like a medium-sized (53 pounds), smaller boned Rottweiler. Animal Control estimated his age at 4ish.
Whatever his mix might be, his cautious but cuddly-bunny personality makes you want to show him that everything will be ok. There is some sadness in his winsome brown eyes when he looks at you and tentatively wags his curved tail. You can see his soul wants to trust, so he comes to you with his heart open. In the right hands, surely he will quickly find that his sad has changed into glad.
He has been given a name of strength, General, to reflect our faith that his confidence will grow. We see evidence of this growth already. General tries to keep his room clean and enjoys his bed and chew toys. It seems that at one time, he was someone’s pet since, he came into Animal Control neutered already. He has been interested in meeting other resident dogs and was respectful, though clearly distrustful, when introduced to our confined cats.
General will do best in a non-chaotic home with gentle folks who have good nurturing tendencies.
He is waiting for the people/person who want him as their own special snuggle-bunny.
NOTE: All animals are spayed/neutered as soon as practical after arriving at our facility unless there is a medical issue that may cause a delay or they are too young to be spayed/neutered.
