My story

Du-Gu, Neutered male, 4 Years 4 months, 43-Lbs. If you would like to give DU-GU a forever home, please contact abetterchancerescue@gmail.com OR log onto abetterchancerescue.org to fill out online application About Du-Gu: Du-Gu is one of the best dogs we have fostered. He is loving and passionate, yet stable, calm, friendly and obedient; he does not have any behavior issue. He can easily befriend strangers including kids; also gets along well with other dogs and cats. He’s potty trained and crate trained. He will be your good friend and a great companion pet. Du-Gu is patiently waiting for a second chance to become your family member. Du-Gu’s rescue story: Du-Gu was a stray puppy and rescued by a TNR group, he was soon adopted at several months old to a loving family. He had four years of happy life after being adopted. Unfortunately, the family’s grandma got cancer and was hospitalized, Du-Gu’s previous owner had to be in the hospital to take care of grandma. Du-Gu was returned to the rescuer since there’s no other family member can take care of him. His previous owner did love him very much and has trained him to be a wonderful dog, but was left with no choice but to ask for our help to rehome him. Please watch Du-Gu’s YouTube videos below: http://youtu.be/oN4CM_Xeb9A Temperaments: - SOCIALIZATION - Social inclination: Submissive People/Children-friendly: Yes Gets along with cats: Yes Gets along with outside dogs: Yes - ANXIETY - Skittish: No Fear of men: No Barks when unattended: No Chews things up when unattended: No - AGGRESSION - Biting incidents: No Food aggression with dogs: No Food aggression with humans: No - DAY-TO-DAY ACTIVITIES - Energy level: Moderate House trained: Yes Leash-trained: Yes Commands learned: Sit, down, kiss, come, go home (go into crate) Adapts in new environments? 2 days Dog gets to go out with foster family in a day: twice a day Good in car: Yes
