Why I need a new home

Relocating

My story

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

this dog is very well trained and knows many commands. He is very very smart and loves to please and loves people. He has to find a new home because his master is being relocated for a job and cannot take him. He was a rescue as a 6 week old and looked to be injured perhaps used as a bait pup for dog fighting. He was taken to a vet and his injuries included losing part of his tongue and a bad tear of his upper lip. He is a beautiful and obedient dog, his only fault being a sufferer of separation anxiety at which time he becomes very nervous and very vocal. I have helped to get him more calm than he was as a young pup, but he still needs more training in this area. He is loving and playful and very willing to learn anything for a good master and some good treats. He plays fetch, and tug of war and chase the bone and basically anything you want to play with him. He should be with a person who knows and enjoys training because he is a very rewarding student.
