Bender

Bender is now up for adoption with us at the pound!<br/>He is neutered and vaccinated.<br/><br/>Bender needs a home where he can thrive OUTSIDE the shelter environment.<br/>He needs an adopter that understands the breed and the mannerisms of a "prey reactive" dog. He wants to engage in "play" with bigger dogs, but when presented with smaller dogs, he is reactive and can be hard to control his impulses.<br/><br/>He's been with our facility for almost 2 years now with NO interest in anyone taking him on as a "rescue" or "rehab" adopt. With so many areas around us having certain breed bans, it's hard to adopt out locally, so we are reaching out to a bigger audience.<br/><br/><br/><br/>What we know about him:<br/>Strong and hard headed; he's 65 pounds of muscle but thinks he's a lap dog and wants your full attention. He is VERY treat/food motivated.<br/><br/>He appears to be very loyal to anyone that will sit and bond with him; he listens but doesn't always "follow commands" (it takes a few tries with some treats to bribe him)<br/><br/>He is "prey" reactive. NO cats, NO farm animals, NO small dogs/animals can be around.<br/><br/>Small children are not recommended; he is a bulldozer when he goes after something and he does like to jump up and on (something else we are working on with him) - we would recommend children that are more sure-footed and can handle his excitement at times (maybe 12 and older).<br/><br/>We are working with him on socializing; he doesn't seem to mind being checked over, but he does NOT trust dogs coming up behind him. <br/><br/>We are in constant observation of him on a daily basis any changes in behavior we will pass on to potential adopters.
