My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bradley was rescued by us from a Florida shelter many years ago. He is about 7 years old now and currently living in Oregon. He was in the absolute perfect home in NV with his dad who loved him dearly (see photo). His dad was his entire world and he would take him to seminars that he hosted to help others with addiction. Bradley became the perfect type of therapy dog! We recall his dad bragging about how well Bradley helped take care of his elderly father too. These two were a match made in heaven and needed each other.

Sadly, Bradley's dad passed away earlier this year. Bradley has been very depressed and missing him a lot. He's currently being loved in a home with his dad's daughter. We know there's another home for Bradley but we just need to find it!

This boy is good with other dogs and he loves people and kids. If a dogo could be perfect, that would be this boy! We are looking for a Foster-to-adopt or an adoption home.

Bradley found himself at Broward county shelter, we have no idea why!! He is a total sweetheart and a VERY good boy! He just wants to love his people and chill watching Netflix. He loves the water and playing with his buddies too! Bradley will make the best companion dogo there is and is very good at knowing your emotions and needs. He was at the shelter during Hurricane Irma and we were thankful he made it out alive. He has stolen our hearts and one of our first rescues when DC Dogos was starting back up. This is a very special dog and an ambassador for the breed for sure!

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!
