Why I need a new home

Found or abandoned

My story

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

This fur baby showed up on my porch – approx 12-6-24 - hungry and cold. I do not know his history, but from his initially skittish nature I suspect he was previously mistreated. Sex: Male / Breed: Unsure / Age: 1-2 Years (guess) / Weight: 42 pounds. He will soon complete his shots and neuter surgery. He almost never barks. He recently had his first bath and did great. He does not have any food aggression or body sensitivity issues. He loves to have his forehead rubbed. He responded negatively to the sound of the dog training clicker - so - we no longer use it. But he is a quick learner and already knows several commands including sit, stay, laydown, no jump. Now we are working to desensitize his fear of a collar. Then we will work on leashing and walks. He prefers to be close to you (wherever you are) and enjoys snoozing on the couch. He watches me when I leave in the car but does not chase the car or leave the yard. I have no doubt this baby will thrive in a loving home.
