MUST HAVES in a forever home:

  1.  Stable mentor dog living in the home 24/7
  2.  Fenced in yard
  3.  Someone who is home more often than not
  4.  Someone willing to continue to work with a fearful dog that may guard toys

Alexander came from a commercial breeder where he had little socialization and exposure to normal living.  He is on medication to help him with his anxieties and has started to blossom in his foster home.  He will need someone with patience to continue to help him progress.

If interested please fill out our online adoption application form; please make sure you fill in every required field/question or your submission will not go through. Please note that we take time to learn as much as we can about each dog in our care and our bios are our current observations; we are unable to make any guarantees on the future health or temperament of your adopted dog. Most dogs in our care come with unknown pre-rescue history and as such breed and age estimates are an educated guess.
