owner surrender,This baby cried for months for his owner, he was the saddest dog ever....He orig lived indoors, reports say he kills birds but we have not seen this while here. we feed him inside his crate Nice dog, likes other big dogs and little dogs but was food protective sometimes when other animals were around at first arrival just because he came in thin and hungry. He came in very thin.....He is leash trained He really is a sweet dog. He was almost starved and kept on an apt balcony. He is friends with the other dogs here and loves the little ones. Please consider this boy! He is also crate trained now, prefers outside but will come in to play and be crated to eat or sleep.If not adopted by Dec 23 2025 he will no longer have a foster home and is at high risk for being euthanized if we cannot locate a permanent or temporary home for him. We are worried for this baby. He is running out of options and time. He is a really good, easy to care for dog that requires some petting, attention, toy playing time and laying around in the sun, barking when
a strange car pulls in the driveway. playful still, but doesn't seen to destroy things.
