Hi, I am Bruce, I am 1yr 9mths old, neutered male and a Karelian Bear/American Staffy Mix. I had a wonderful home, but life events happened for my humans and my whole world got flipped, my owners were great they taught me all kinds of commands, how to walk on a leash, they understood my breed very well. They thought they had found a wonderful home for me, but within 2 days that person gave me away and then that person dumped me it was a very stressful 72hrs, my old owner could not take me back, but gave the team a ton of information about me. I have lived with St. Bernard's both male and female a Great Dane and an Italian Grey hound and two cats. He has not lived with children. He take a minute to warm up to strangers and can be protective of his home in an acceptable way. He is incredibly smart, regal, eager to please, his recall is almost a 100%, he would prefer a private yard and someone who is a little active. He loves tug-a-war and fetch.
My adoption fee is $250
1. Do you have a privately fenced yard?
2. What animals live in your home?
3. How many people and ages live in your home?
4. Have you had a large dog before? He is 77lbs
5. Please look up his predominate breed Karelian Bear, to understand his breed.
6. He will need two visits, this will be required, is this something you can do?
