Story

I hoped I'd never have to post this. I'm looking for a home for my dog, Sofie. She's a 9 year old American bulldog. She loves people but needs to go to a home without animals as she's developed food aggression (pet or animal food) in her older years. She's good around cats, but should be muzzled if left around any animals. I've had her since 2019 and have done everything I can to stand by her, but I'm in a position where I no longer have a safe place to stay with her and am facing homelessness with not even a car to stay in if I keep her any longer. I'd love for whoever takes her to keep in touch and send pictures and videos so I know she's happy and okay. We are currently in New York and I'll be moving to Texas soon, so either of those places (or in between) is ideal but I'm willing to figure something out otherwise. I love this dog wholeheartedly and only want her to go to a good, safe home.

Sidney Poitier - Super Star

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Young

Albany, NY

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

We rescued Sidney from a horrific shelter in Memphis, TN. When we got him, he was skin and bones and had some barrier aggression issues (who knows what horrors he suffered there) It didn't take long for Sidney to realize he was now safe and could start letting down his guard. Sidney Poitier has filled out and is truly a stunning dog. Sidney is about 2 years old, and is at his healthy weight of 80 lbs. Sidney is a very intelligent fellow, he learns quicky and is anxious to please. He will do well with a job and/or a lot of stimulation, long walks and hikes. He will do well with an experienced dog person. Sidney loves meeting new people. He has done well with large dogs he has met, however he is would not be good with small dogs or cats. Sidney does show barrier reactivity, however, when the barrier is removed (whether it is a crate, fence or car window) he show absolutely no issues. Because Sidney likes a lot of activity, he will need a securely fenced yard (must be a physical fence, not an electric or invisible system) He is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped and on monthly treatment for flea/ticks and heartworm prevention Sidney is currently located in the Middle TN area but transport is included in the adoption fee for approved adopter If you are interested in Sidney Poitier, email cox_ann@bellsouth.net for an application
