Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello, my name is VON, James VON ?. This young handsome boy has been thriving with a Foster Mom but she's relocating and we are in URGENT NEED for another FOSTER or even better a FUREVER HOME (Adoption) ?.
Meet Von! Von is a 3-year-old, 48-pounds, playful pup (once he warms up to you). Von
has had a tough past, his owner put him in the car and abandoned him at a shelter. He
deserves a second chance at a happy, secure, stable future.
Von loves treats, long walks, and snuggles. He also loves playing with the jolly ball and could
use someone to teach him how to play with other toys too. He would benefit from and thrive with
some obedience training as he is smart and treat motivated.
Von would do best in a home with no other dogs or small children. He needs a loving home with
an experienced handler; someone who will help build his trust and confidence. He can be
scared and fearful in new environments, but loves to play and snuggle once he’s warmed up to you. He walks well on a leash but is head shy so needs someone to take it slow with him and
show him that the lead means good things like walks and treats!
Unfortunately Von’s foster mom is moving and can’t bring him with her.
So you wanna know what my foster mom says about me???
She says I am housebroken, obviously!!! He has have had some obedience training at some point. He know how to sit, stay, waits for permission to eat and treats. Von is an alpha dog his previous owner also like that he was an alpha.
But Von can be afraid of thunderstorms and firecrackers, the 4th of July was not a good night for him!!!
He will chew shoes and clothes when bored or anxious if left out so i guess he likes a tidy house, who can blame him.
Von is a very sweet boy that loves to go on long walks and still likes to play.
He can and will “mouth” you during play but nothing hard. He likes to chew on kongs or other same like toys to get in mouth exercise. Plus they say it helps with the mouthy issue.
He was an escape artist at the shelter. But condo living has been great ... cause he love going on long walks.
