Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Bishop: This boy has come a long way in a few weeks and we are thrilled that he now has a chance at real happiness. When he arrived, he was skin and bones, filthy, and looked as if he had given up....but thanks to a few very dedicated volunteers who brought him special homemade food everyday and taught him kindness,
Bishop is now a happy camper who loves his treats, loves to offer polite manners and is happy to meet other dogs out on his walks. He has a sparkle back in his eyes and we have such high hopes for him. Despite not being given much in his prior life,
Bishop did not show any guarding of his food, toys, or bones. He holds no grudges towards anyone and has enjoyed meeting lots of new people without issue. He has a lovely disposition and now he has discovered when he sits down for people, he often gets a yummy treat so the positive training games we are playing with him are doing their job, Hooray! He has been neutered and is ready to continue to blossom into a great dog.....we would love for him to have a home with someone who can give him ALL THE BEST because he deserves it.
