I pulled a gorgeous black long-haired, with bits of tan, HUGE dog today from our KILL shelter. He looks to have GSD, maybe Rott, maybe wolf. He weighed at 75 undernourished and the way he pulls on his leash, I cannot imagine him weighing more!
They were about to kill him. I had to take him. If I end up fostering for someone else then so be it. He goes tomorrow for his neutering and he has a bite wound that the vet says he cannot stitch but just clean it out and treat it, etc.
He turned out HW positive also. They put him on Heartguard for two months then we go in for treatment. Ugh. I cannot afford this, lol. But I love him already. His temperment is awesome. NO aggresson towards cats, other dogs, kids, food, etc. Had an awful time getting him in his new expensive crate lol so here he sits by me.
He is not very affectionate right now but I figure he has been through alot. I need advice on how to handle bringing him in, with my high drive female, etc. She actually accepted him but she ripped his wound open more by accident.
Doc said no playing, no obedience training until HW treatment is done. This dog has NO training period. Pulls you down the road on the leash, lol.
I just need some advice.......thanks in advance!
