Here's what the humans have to say about me:
No, No, Notorious Big Papa!
Big Papa was once the patriarch of the infamous "Junkyard Dogs". Papa was rescued back in September of last year and taken straight into training with PCT. Being feral his whole life, he had quite the journey ahead of him. He learned how to walk on a leash, sit, down, place and love his kennel. Papa is a pretty chill gentleman, he likes his morning walks and LOVES to eat! He doesn't mind other well mannered dogs, gets nervous around any human or dog with high energy. He doesn't care about cats or farm animals, chickens, ducks, horses. This handsome man is looking for someone who will continue his journey, building confidence and trust. He does well with baths outside but they are not his favorite. Does great with brushing, cause he is a shedder. Due to his feral beginnings, he is going to need a lot of structure and patience as he transitions to his new life.
Paw Creek Training will teach you all he knows and help start your bond with Papa! The adoptive family will need to complete at least 3 training sessions, free of cost, with PCT to ensure that Big Papa has continued structure and success.
