Story
Name: Goldie Age: 2 yrs, 5 months Weight: 80lbs. Preferred Residence: House w/yard Vet: Duke’s Animal Boarding: Copeland’s Pet Motel Commands Known: Sit, Stay, Down, Wait, Come, Leave it, Drop it, Eat, OK Hello everyone, it’s really hard for me to write this but I’m looking to rehome my sister’s dog. She’s expecting a new kid soon and it will be too much for her to take care of the newborn, her three year old and the dog. He’s been neutered and is a very active dog. GREAT with teenage boys and loves to roughhouse, but aware of his size with smaller children. Great with other dogs, but we’re unsure of how he is with cats. Someone with previous bully breed experience is recommended but if you don’t have that, then you have to be what the pro trainers call a responsible and confident canine leader (he’s a big boy). These dogs carry a stigma about them because of irresponsible owners. Don’t let that turn you away. Available for meet and greets if you want to do a temperament test.
