Why I need a new home

Fostered

My story

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


Max came to us from a "neglect" situation in Puerto Rico. He is the biggest ball of mush! He loves people and getting hugs and kisses and attention! However, Max is NOT socialized!! We have been taking him out into the community, and he does wonderful but does NOT do well with fast movement and needs an EXPERIENCED handler as he is a STRONG boy! He is non-reactive when in the pet store, and local Starbucks. He does pull when on leash and will come with his harness. He is crate trained but does bark when in the crate for a prolonged period of time. Alot of his "issues" can be solved with an experienced handler that knows the bully breed and can set appropriate boundaries for him.
We listed him as special needs because due to coming from PR Max does have skin issues. He needs regular baths with oatmeal shampoo for dry skin and is prone to ear infections. He will come with his ear drops. He is fully vaccinated and neutered! We prefer Max be in an ONLY dog household.
