My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Buddy came from a kill shelter, very frightened and reactive. He never bit anyone, but he can be reactive when he is frightened. He was also very dog aggressive/reactive toward other dogs. He has adjusted to being at the kennel and is now much more comfortable being handled, he loves going for long walks and loves going out to the field and playing ball. He loves toys and eating and riding in the car. He is well mannered but needs an experienced person because he can get excited and reactive. He has been successfully acclimated with some other dogs and now goes into the play yard with a couple select dogs he gets along with well. However Buddy would prefer to be the only pet in the home. He is a handsome, athletic dog who will be a wonderful active companion for a person experienced with high-energy large dogs.

our applications give an introduction to the dog including age, size, breed or educated guess at breed mix, any temperament quirks or likes/dislikes, housebroken/not, required exercise, care, fenced yard, other dogs, cats etc. We look for great matches for the individual dog and we do check multiple references before approving the adoptor.
