My name is Donny!

I got Donny from his old owner by Facebook. I took him in to find a new home for him because his old owner couldn’t keep him anymore due to his guarding behavior. He’s a wonderful dog in so many ways, he’s loyal, affectionate, and a true gentle giant most of the time, but he has developed resource guarding behaviors and unfortunately bit his old owner during one of those incidents.
Because of this, he must go to an adult-only home with no children or dogs and ideally someone who has experience with Newfoundlands or large breeds. He needs an owner who understands the breed’s temperament and is willing and able to work with him through training and structure. He doesn’t do well by himself alone for multiple hours of the day and tends to get into food bags and boxes when left alone. This is why I believe he gained guarding tendencies with things he’s not supposed to have. He loves to go on walks and does well on a slip lead.
