To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see HERE Age: 3-4 years (as of 12/12/23) Weight: 60 lbs (as of 1/1/24) This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Ghost is a friendly, energetic, good-natured boy, looking for a family to call his own after having a rough start. He is gregarious with all humans and loves attention from humans. He is nosy and curious, and likes to sniff, run and play when outside. He has many doggy friends of different sizes and types, and does best with those who enjoy chase, wrestling, bitey-face and boxing styles of play. Ghost has the typical "young bully breed" personality, full of zest and exuberance, and may be too much for frail adults or very young children. Ghost is quiet and clean in his wire crate and has never had an accident inside the house. He may need some guidance when it comes to house manners as he has had limited free-range experience in a home, but he is very eager to please and is a smart boy. B asic group training classes will be fabulous for him to learn new commands, socialize with other humans and dogs, as well as build that fur-ever bond with you! Ghost is looking for a cat- and small animal-free home, as he becomes fixated on them and tracks them intensely. Ghost is a playful and happy boy who just wants a loving forever home. Can you make his dream come true? Fill out an application today and let him know that you'd love to have him join your family! Ghost's Back Story: Ghost was found as an emaciated stray and taken in by a kind-hearted person whose house burned down. Thankfully, this all-white cutie survived and found his way into a new, stable foster home. He has lived with adults, children, and other dogs and gets along with everyone.
