Here's what the humans have to say about me:
UPDATE: 05/10/2015 - Fester is improving daily with his manners! He is learning to greet new people as they come into the shelter! He really likes strutting his stuff! Once he befriends you - you could not ask for a sweeter dog. Fester loves dogs, loves cats and is good on and off leash! Children and older men seem to still frighten him, but not as bad as when he first came in. He is very smart and we feel will be back to loving everyone who will give him attention.
Fester was so pitiful looking when he was rescued. The animal control officer was called out for a "vicious" dog and she discovered Fester! His hair was so matted and he was so scared - he was not vicious just frightened!!!! He had to be in pain with all the matted hairs and once we shaved him, got him warm, he has been so much better.! We do feel Fester needs to be with older humans and no kids and he does really well with women! Fester is house trained, crate trained and loves playing with other dogs, big or small! Fester is heartworm NEGATIVE!
