My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Please contact Liz (lizhazeliz@aol.com) for more information about this pet.

Johnny is a one year old friendly, playful dog who was never taught any manners by his previous family. Johnny has been at the shelter for six weeks now, and his manners have been improving. He has learned to sit, and lay down, and will take treats gently from your hand. He is housetrained, and has also stopped pulling the leash with his mouth during walks. He does still jump on people and if you get him too excited he will become easily over stimulated, and lose himself in play. Anything within the vicinity of his mouth will become a toy. Your elbow, your hair, your shoe - on your foot! If Johnny was a smaller dog (he weighs 70 pounds) this behavior would (unfortunately) be considered cute. This is what happened in his previous home. He was allowed to wrestle and play, with no discipline. Now he is full grown, and his puppy behavior has remained, while his puppy body has grown up. Johnny needs an experienced owner who will concentrate on consistency, and structure. He is a big goof ball who deserves a good home with someone who has the patience and determination to dedicate toward his training. Johnny does not get along well with small dogs, or cats.
