Little is about a year old. He's spent his whole life in a back yard*, so he's a little emotionally stunted.I call him Little because he was surrendered, basically, for being too big.
Geddit?
Becoming homeless was the best thing Little has ever done, because being homed previously really sucked for him.
He is sweet and delicate and wants so badly to be best friends with a person, but he needs a lot of gentle training, because "being a loved pet" is completely new to him.
He's lived in a yard with lots of other little dogs before, but I suspect living indoors with other pets will be a challenge for him, since he's new to this whole ready-supply-of-resources thing. He WILL guard his new owner from other animals, maybe people, if given the chance.
I'm fostering Little in Austin, Texas. He's existing under the care of Animal Trustees of Austin and his adoption fee is $75, though I encourage you to make a larger donation to ATA, since they take a loss on pretty much everything they do to keep the way over-saturated animal community in Austin alive and out of pain.
If you're interested in adopting him, e-mail me. We have other cool little foster dogs, too.
