Story
We adopted Cooper from an animal rescue when he was a puppy. He came all the over from Texas! He is such a sweet boy he loves to run around the backyard and sunbathe. He is easily excitable but also loves to relax and snuggle with you. We unfortunately have to rehome him due to his aggression towards our young daughter. He has bitten her once before and he snarls at her if she gets too close to him. We have had pet sitters watch him when we are gone and he does well with older children or teenagers. He needs to be in a home where there is no small children. He gets along with our other dog but he does not like groups of dogs such as a doggie daycare. He has food aggression towards other dogs. He has not shown aggression towards cats but he gets fixated on them and chases them. He would likely do better in a house without other animals. He also has hypothyroidism so he will need to be on thyroid medication for the rest of his life.

Story
Howdy! I am the Grand Nagas Zek (named after the Ferengi on Star Trek!). My brothers and I were rescued from some pretty horrible conditions. When POET saved us, we were filthy and starving, and where covered in urine scald. They cleaned us up, gave us lots of yummy food and even better lots of love and kisses. We are still healing, but will be able to go home in a few weeks. I am the shyest of the bunch, but I was the runt and in the worst condition. My foster mom gives me lots of extra snuggles because that all I want! I am great with other dogs, kids and even cats. i will be microchipped, neutered and vaccinated prior to going home. . I would do well in most homes, but due to my breed I do require adopters be 21, own their own home and have a fence. If you are looking at adopting me, please fill out an application at poetanimalrescue.org

I am quite adventurous and like to go exploring (as long as my foster mom is nearby, I still get scared sometimes) I am great with other dogs, kids and even cats. i will be microchipped, neutered and vaccinated prior to going home. I would do well in most homes, but due to my breed I do require adopters be 21, own their own home and have a fence.
