My story

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

Muchacho is rescued from neighbors who neglected him.
He is a livestock guardian dog who is 2 and a half years old.
We have no history on him since his previous owner abandoned him.
We rescued him hoping he would be our livestock guardian dog.
He is great at keeping predators off our property and is great with the fowl, but he likes to chase and play with the sheep and goats. We have a lot of older sheep and our oldest (15 year old ewe) passed away due to the stress after being chased by Muchacho overnight.
So, unfortunately we need to find him a new home. One where he can be a livestock guardian dog for fowl, or other livestock if he had an older guardian dog to teach him, or someone who knows how to train these dogs.
He is the sweetest guy who loves everyone, other dogs, every person he has ever met, and is great at protecting the property from predators.
We love Muchacho, but our house is too small, and we can’t be have him accidentally hurt or kill any of our sheep.
