bilbo

Bilbo came to us after spending 4 years in a garage with no socialization, Afraid of everything, under weigh and severely matted. He has since came out of his shell, tho I do not think he would be good around kids under 12. He loves toys and especially chew toys like Bam Bones & Bully Sticks. He does hate to be groomed and in the past has had to be totally sedated but again we are working on running a comb thru he hair as its growing back. He has great recall at my house and uses a doggy door to potty and play outside which he loves. He does like to be on your lap not necessarily for pets just to lay there and be close to you. He needs some work on his leash walking as he does try to pull when out on a walk and encounter moving cars which he is afraid of, but he does ride in the car without any issues and seams to enjoy that. He MUST have a securely fenced yard, NO Dog Parks until he is trained better and NO apartments as he can be a barker when he hears something or when he is trying to get one of the other dogs to play. He is good with other dogs but doesn`t read warnings when they have had enough. He will nip at the back legs to get them to play more. With this I think he should be an only dog, maybe visits with other dogs but his home be only his. He does need to continue learning manners so someone who will work with him and a trainer would be a perfect home for Bilbo. He is a 5 year old puppy. He is now Neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. His adoption fee is $340. He does have a heart murmur and on meds that run about $100 a month. If interested in meeting Bilbo fill out the application on OFOSA.ORG and I will be in touch.
