Bug was dumped in a well known “ dog dump” area and left fend for himself. A Good Samaritan who had been feeding other larger dogs in the area took him in for his own safety and reached out to us to help and of course, how could we resist. He is a very loving and energetic dog who loves to play with the dogs at his foster home and then likes to hang out with the family. He loves to play with toys and other dogs, loves his walks in fact he is pretty much a perfect dog. CLICK THE LINK BELOW to fill out our Adoption Application! https://form.jotform.com/240285232958057

Story
This is Gio, (aka, Pointy Face). Gio is 1-3yrs, gentle, old soul of a dog. He has a calm and happy demeanor. He is loving and wants to be a companion dog, would make great ESA. He will need attention and continuation of training, so someone who is willing/able to do the work and give time and love (Malinois understanding). He was trained at a 5wk board program and is "off-leash" reliable (leash and e-collar trained). He is also welcome for group training on weekends with the board and train company in San Marcos for his lifetime. He walks well and has adventure days to continue his training. He is a really good dog. He will come to you with e-collar, collars, crate, place cots, beds, extra food and heart worm/vectra. He loves belly rubs, truck rides, walks, ball, cuddles, brushes. We are willing to provide trainer lessons (up to 3) for assistance in integrating in your home if in the area. He has some joint issues so is not a sport/hunt dog tho his nose and drive are topnotch.
