Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Whether it’s an owner surrender, a medical issue, or a sudden tragedy, in the realm of rescue you do everything you can to help. In Kaiser’s case, it was a tragic murder/suicide by his owner that landed him in rescue. This big, beautiful, beefy fellow was found on the site of the murder by responding police officers. Fortunately, the caring wife of one of the officers rushed him to safety and contacted DPRPA to help rehome him.
Kaiser is a black/tan, natural-eared, 2-year-old gentle giant weighing in at 95 pounds. He lives in a foster home with 3 young children, as well as a 10-year-old tripod Labrador, and he has proven fantastic with children. Any age, he is great! He seems to know his size and amount of energy better with humans than with other dogs. He is great with dogs; however, he does love to play and would do better with a more energetic pup/s like himself. He should not be in a home with cats or small animals. He is crate trained as well as house trained. Although a rambunctious puppy at play, he also wants to lay around on the couch or in your lap to relax. He most likely was crated previously for many hours of the day as his tail’s end and elbows are worn. He is a bit skittish with loud noises and motorcycles, but his eyes tell a story of redemption.
Kaiser’s life has been turned upside down by the loss of his owner who took his own life. Yet, he lives in the present and wants to be a family dog who is loved and cared for in a forever home that understands the breed and can give him the structure he needs to thrive. Note that Kaiser has shown some signs of resource guarding, which may just be a manifestation of stress in a new environment. An experienced home who can redirect him and knows, or is willing to learn, techniques is a must!
