LARRY is a special dog to us! He is a 2 year old male, mixed breed dog. A relative's DNA came back with German Shepherd, Beagle, Basset and Chow as the predominant breeds. Go figure? To us, he looks just like an English Lab.
LARRY grew up in less than desirable, outdoor conditions. He was one of a backyard pack and was completely raised by canines. To his credit, he retains many of the loving qualities we love in dogs. He bonds quickly to his owner and is very loyal. He is great with other dogs. He is respectful of everything and everyone around him.
For us, Larry is the consummate rescue dog. He will take a little time. There is still so much for him to experience in his new world. We initially placed Larry in a great foster home. Here, he made great strides learning how to live indoors with a family. He discovered the comfort of napping on the couch. He took delight in getting his favorite snack - Italian bread. But they could only build on his social skills so far. His confidence level was built to the point we could enroll him in our Paws Behind Bars prison dog training program. We are pleased to report he is handling this beautifully! It is a safe and nurturing environment, yet he has to get used to a lot more activities, noises and people. If something scares him, his inmate is right there to help. In the meantime, Larry is also receiving obedience training. He is going to make someone a very nice companion. His general demeanor is quiet and gentle anyway.
If interested in adopting, our process begins with submission of our application. Please visit our website at www.adoptmebluegrasspetrescue.com and click on Larry's picture in "Adoptable Dogs". Additional adoption FAQ's can be found here also. Meets will be set with approved applicants based on our "best family fit" approach.
Thank you!
