Angus the Dog needs a home
ANGUS IS A COURTESY LISTING. PLEASE CONTACT TANIA AT
[email protected] WITH ANY INTEREST.
Angus was found running down Lynn Rd. in duct tape and wire. He was very happy to jump in the car and couldn't have been more grateful and sweet. He had a very rough beginning, he had parasites, intestinal worms and heart worms. We have treated all of these issues as well as neutered and micro chipped him and he is now ready to find his forever home. This guy is one big ball of love. His affection for his pack family is strong and is balanced by his desire to protect them. He loves to chase: a ball, a remote control car, or a possum (he caught one in our back yard). The temptation to pursue is just too much to resist! Another dog that is laid back and non-aggressive would be an option. He is learning to make friends and is doing great but is reactive to aggressiveness in other dogs. A family with a cat or another small dog may not be the best fit for that reason as he is a large dog.
He is a fast learner and has already picked up so many great skills. He is quiet in the crate and in general. In the two months he has been with us, I can count on one hand the number of times I have heard him bark. He sits/stays before every meal, and is learning how to walk nicely on a leash. He has a strong desire to please, which makes training so much more fun! Angus has not had much socialization with other dogs, so he needs a strong leader with patience to help him figure out how to behave properly. He is not the dog for a first time dog owner. He has adjusted well to our kids, but it took some time for him to figure out the pack order. We think he would fit best in a family with kids over the age of 12. This guy will make an amazing family member, his love knows no limits despite the rough start from which he came.
