I am a very worried dog, causing me to be fearful and dominant. This is the only behavior I had to protect himself in a scary environment. I am extremely protective of my food bowl, treats or bones. Sometimes I won't even eat what is in front of me, I will just lay next to it and guard it. I will try to bite if you try to take it or try to pull me away from it. My foster mom uses something else to lure me away from whatever I have so that she can safely remove it. Trust has to be aquired with me before dominance can be properly asserted over me.
I am about 30 pounds overweight, so I need someone to work with me to help me get my svelte shape back. I need lots of exercise, and am wonderful off leash on trails or in the woods.
I am afraid to go into the backyard, and my foster mom thinks I was likely forced into areas where I was left alone for long periods of time before. She has been leashing me and taking me for short walks when it's time for pee or poop breaks at home.
I need a calm, assertive owner with lots of patience and time to spend with me. I a very affectionate with people I know and quickly turn strangers into friends. I need to be watched at off-leash dog parks right now as I will mount certain people and children. I've been great with other dogs except for two, I took an immediate dislike to them, but I did show warning signs. I adore my foster brothers and sisters (the canine kind); I'm not good with cats, so I'll need to go to a feline-free home.
I love car rides, and really am playful, sometimes I get overly excited or possesive over toys.
There is definitely hope for me! I deserve someone special who can help me reach my full potential. My adoption fee is $200
