My personality

My story

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

owner surrender,This baby cried for months for his owner, it was the saddest dog ever....He orig lived indoors, reports say he kills birds. Wont share food sources. Nice dog, likes other little dogs but is food agressive when other animals are around. He came in very thin.....He is leash trained but should be only dog when food is out to be safe although he does best with the smaller dogs here. He really is a sweet dog. He was almost starved and kept on an apt balcony. Please consider this boy! He is also crate trained now, prefers outside but will come in to play and be crated to eat.

We may require a vet reference if you have previously owned a pet, or you may be ask to participate in a quick and simple dog care class and/or volunteer here at the shelter for support. We also provide virtual adoptions for our sanctuary division animals who remain here but you get to visit, get updates via internet, and you help provide necessary provisions just for that particular animal, so if you cant have one where you live but still want to be a part of something very rewarding and heartfelt this option may be for you.
