Rescued by TBL in January 2025 when they were at risk of euthanasia.Best Home: Patient single or couple who are willing to help a bit of scaredy cat learn the ways of the world.Amazing Qualities: Lowriding legs...need we say more?If you're interested in meeting this dog, please visit our website to fill out an adoption application: www.thebarkinglot.net/adoptOur dogs are located in San Diego County, CA.

This is an amazing dog. He was abandoned in Mexico and stayed outside me door because I fed him. I thought he might go home becausae I know the house he was at but they did not take care of him. We let him in and he's great with everybody and so smart. He can be service dog or just a great family member.  ##2302768##
