I came to DDR because I have some issues with resource guarding. There are children in the house and children come over to play so my mom was afraid I might bite someone. I'm a great guy, I just need a strong pack leader and some guidance. I shouldn't be in a home with children because sometimes they don't understand my warning growl to leave my stuff alone. I love playing with other dogs, I do need a fenced yard so I can run chase and play. My foster mom is just getting to know me so she will do an update when she knows me better. Can you be my furever home? I am 1 1/2 yrs old, I weigh 16 pounds, my adoption fee is $600 plus sales tax $27=$627 My adoption fee help with my vetting needs such as HW test, rabies, DHPPL, Bordetella, neuter, dental and microchipping.
