Here's what the humans have to say about me:
ADOPTION PENDING
Optimus is a 2 1/2 year old fawn male with natural ears. He came to rescue because his family was pregnant with a fourth child and no longer could afford him, or had the time for him. Optimus is a large male weighing in at 150 lbs. With that being said he is a gentle giant who loves critters big and small. He gets along great with everything, big, small, male, female, dog, cat, he is gentle with everything. He knows his manners and is easily corrected. He lived with small children in his previous home and was great. He gets spunky for a few minutes but tires out pretty quickly, plays well with both dominant female Dane and male pit-bull in foster home. Optimus is trustworthy left out alone but will go in a crate. He has Addison's disease for which he requires an inexpensive daily medication and a pretty expensive shot administered once every 40 or so days. He lives a completely normal life other than a lot of water drinking. He can be timid at first but warms up quickly, We think he would do best in a home with another dog to keep him active.
