His owner bought him at 8 weeks old. He lived with an Autistic child who is now 7 and the environment was just too much for him. The owner told us her child was not being nice to him. The decision to give him up was difficult, but best for him and the family. He came to us as a traumatized, scared, potential fear biter. He has been neutered, groomed and all necessary vetting is done. We have worked with him some and he is healthy, much happier, wags his tail more and thrives on kindness. He still needs time to overcome a rough, difficult first part of his life but once he bonds with you, he gets happy, happy. He will need to work on leash training, messing with his face and we are not sure why, but he gets snappy and difficult at the vet. Riding in a car makes him nervous and uncomfortable but is getting better. He is still crate aggressive and not fond of being around other dogs. This said, he should probably be your only dog, but we will try letting him be with other dogs and update. Best home is a calm adult home with few distractions, no kids or grandkids visiting and a securely fenced yard. He needs to bond with you and gain confidence that he will not be hurt again. We feel he will thrive in a loving home with kindness and someone to care about him. Adoption Fee $500
