My story

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

SPECIAL NEEDS: He is Lyme positive.
Joaquin was surrendered due to his Lyme disease, which was unmanageable for his previous owner. He has been here a short time and seems to have no problems with the change in his lifestyle from apartment to shelter. He is very happy to meet new people and is very sociable, but can be pushy with other dogs. We have observed that when he meets other dogs he is over-enthusiastic and displays dominant behaviors towards them. We are working with him and hope this will subside after training and neutering. We will continue to

He is semi-house trained and with the right schedule, should do just fine. He knows how to sit (for a treat) and is a happy little piglet that should transition nicely to his next home with no other animals.
