We rescued Tommy from a rural shelter after he was found roaming the woods with another Dogo, Gina. Tommy was scared, skin and bones, and stained yellow all over. His first few weeks in rescue were tough on Tommy as he had to be separated from his best friend Gina, and was put into boarding.
Despite Tommy's sad initial few weeks, nowadays he is the happiest guy in the world. Reunited with Gina, they are both being fostered in the Atlanta suburbs where they spend their days playing with their dozens of toys, napping on their soft and comfy beds, and digging in the yard searching for moles. Tommy loves his people but is more laid back than Gina, but always stopping to show some love to his foster parents. Tommy is well behaved and trained in basic commands.
Tommy's ideal home would be somewhere Gina would be welcome, too (:
Although Tommy is good with other dogs (with a good intro of course) his ideal home would be one where him and Gina could be the only dogs - giving their humans ample time to give them both the attention they deserve. Preferably people who like being outdoors, as they both adore spending time outside. No small children, as these two play hard and would knock over anything in their way!
Even after everything Tommy has been through, he really is such an amazing Dogo, and is looking forward to being adopted with his bestie!
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!
