Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Darren is a very sweet boy, who had a rough start in life. He was dumped at the shelter with his brother, where they sat for almost three months, and their time was up. Fortunately, he was rescued, however, his luck didn’t exactly change. The rescue became overwhelmed, ran out of funds, and Darren was abandoned at boarding, in a shelter type setting. Poor guy was basically locked up for almost 10 months.
He has been in a foster for 2 months now, where he learned that he’s finally safe. However, he is in need of a new foster or even better a permanent home, as this foster was only temporary.
Darren is close to 2 years old. We’re not exactly sure of his birthday, but we think it’s around April or May.
He is dog friendly, in fact, he’d do best with a canine sibling. He’s very sweet, loves to cuddle and get attention, and is house trained. He is good in the house, loves to play, but will go to his favorite spot when he wants quiet time. He is also crate trained.
Outside the house he is still a bit shy and fearful of new things (we think he and his brother were primarily kept in a yard and neglected), and is cautious with new people, however he warms up fast. He walks nicely on leash, and becomes more confident each day.
He is about 50 lbs and still in the process of gaining much needed weight, that he lost due to the stress of being kenneled so long.
Overall, he’s a great boy, who will make a loving companion and great buddy to another pup. Did I mention how handsome he is…
If you’re interested in fostering or adopting him, please contact Roxy at 310.595.0495 or via email at dggyluv@yahoo.com.
Let’s change his luck once and for all, and find him a family or person who will love him for the rest of his life.
