Story
We adopted him from Once Upon a Prayer Rescue in O'Fallon, IL. He is 4 years old. He is a very anxious dog and has a hard time just sitting next to us, but when he does it is so heartwarming. We did anxiety medicine for a bit to see if we noticed a change and we did, but we couldn't afford it anymore. If you have a front window, then he is constantly looking out it. He will bark at anyone who is walking in front of the house. You will always know when someone is here. LOL. He is an attention seeking dog. Loves to go on walks but doesn't like to be outside by himself in the backyard. If he gets out of the backyard, he will go to the front door and scratch at it because he can't stand to be away from you. Don't leave food out on counters or else he will jump up and snag it. He went to obedience school. He is a big dog but thinks he is a little dog which can be an issue with kids and cats.

Story
So I rescued Covid from his original owner who was abusive towards him. He's very protective of his people and does good with kids. He gets along with other dogs after getting to know them a bit but would be best on his own. Hates rabbits. Loves having a ball thrown for him but good luck getting it back lol. He's overall a good dog but he'll need somewhere he can run and someone with the time and patience to work with him. He's standoffish at first but quickly will wait tail wagging to be petted and played with. Loves belly rubs!! He will be an amazing pet for the right person. Unfortunately I'm having to move and need to find a home quickly as I can't bring him with me where me and my daughter are going. We love him a great deal so I'm hoping to find him a great home. The only shelters that will take him would put him down and he deserves so much better than that.
