Story
Can be sweet and loves to roll around on a lap, but also has biting tendency so proceed with caution with treats. Also, grooming may be a challenge, but must be done regularly so possibly will need calming meds from vet and must be done by a professional. This poor baby was found incredibly matted with corneal ulcers in both eyes, possibly from scratches he got from his matted hair. His eyes have healed, but scaring remains. Please be advised that he is a bite risk. He needs an experienced handler that will be patient and cautious. This is what his foster had to say: He is doing great with me, unfortunately he still growls at my husband. He doesn’t like anything put over his head. You can put a harness or clothes on him as lone as he can step into them. He will wait for his food, usually sits waiting though might bark softly telling you to hurry up. He likes to go for walks, pulls some, which will get better. Likes to ride in car. Wants to be near you, either sitting with you, laying on the floor or in his bed. He sleeps in his bed at night. He is house trained. He peed in the house the first 2 days. Hasn’t since. We have a doggie door they all use. No children under 16 in the home or regularly visiting. Extreme caution should always be used with him due to bite tendency. Especially with new people.  ##1987976##
