Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Peyton is a 9 month old pup who just entered our program. He is currently being fostered near St. Louis.
Peyton's foster says he is the sweetest guy and has been very well mannered so far. He was a little timid at first but has started to really open up and come out of his shell with his foster family. He has done well with the other dogs in the house under close supervision and even met a big scary cat that he did his best to ignore. Peyton is a very vocal goofy pup that has a lot to say and loves to "talk" to you. He really enjoys car rides too. He is learning to settle in his crate and walk nicely on a leash.
Peyton would do best in a home with no small children. He would love a yard to romp and play in and someone to continue to work with him on building his confidence.
Dogos are a wonderful breed but we urge anyone interested to dig in and do a lot of research before deciding if they are a good fit for your home. They require a lot of attention and training with them never ends! Boundaries must be enforced and they often need reminders as they push past boundaires you set! Dogos are loving, kind and gentle but don't mistake that for weakness because they are equally powerful and intense as well! Everyone in the home must be on board with having a dogo and play a major role in their daily routines and training. Yes it is work, but the rewards are ten-fold! Lazy homes don't work for dogos as they need stimulation, exercise, and lots of attention too during their younger years. Our goal in rescue is to be as transparent as we can about each and every dog plus make sure new families really understand the needs of a dogo!
