My story

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


We are in our upper 60’s & Because of my husband having Cancer & my own disability progressing, We are unable to properly care for or train this very handsome 1 yr old boy. He is a happy go lucky dog, playful, cuddly, dominant, great protector but can be a big scaredy cat when a storm rolls in or a truck drives by. Then he turns into Scooby doo! He’s not good with strangers and will growl out of fear because he’s only use to being around me & my husband. It does take him time to warm up. I prefer he is the only dog and is with older kids only because he’s overly excitable and rough. He doesn’t realize he’s own strength. He needs a firm but loving master. He’s due for shots this Oct, he has not been neutered. We have a fenced in yard which is a necessity for Geo as he hates being on a leash or chain. He needs to be adopted asap. But only by someone that will be a perfect match. Low adoption fee. Thank you!
