My story

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

This is a very sweet pibald boy that is almost ready for a home of his own.

Higgins came from a pet store, he was bought by a family that decided they couldn't keep him. But that was ok, because they made every effort to make sure he had a good home. Or so they thought. After a year the call came in, things weren't working out. And through no fault of his own Higgins was returned to the first family. Unfortunately, they were to find Higgins was a changed dog. Someone had been mean to him. He was fearful, defensive, and worst of all they were afraid he would bite one of their small children.



Thakfully, Higgins family cared enough to find someone that could take him and teach him to trust and love again. This is one special little boy. He adores women and children! He is learning to trust men. He is good with dogs, but cannot live in a home with cats. He will see them as prey.



Higgins is crate trained, and house trained. He is neutered and fully vaccinated.
