Johnny American Bulldog Mix Scituate, MA

At about a year old, Johnny has now been to four different homes. This is no fault of his own, we just learn new things about him each time. This guy was originally found in a field, so being in a home is a new thing for him.

Here is what we have learned so far:
- Johnny would be great with another young, playful dog in the home.
- A home setting is easier for him. It is hard for him in an apartment with lots of people around and unfamiliar sounds.
- With enough love, Johnny warms up very fast.
- Johnny still is very much a puppy! He can be a bit of a chewer and needs lots of toys.

With those he loves and trusts, Johnny is a fun, goofy puppy who loves running zoomies and squeaky toys. He seems to have springs in his back legs because he can jump very high to greet his favorite person! When Johnny doesn't know or trust you, he cowers and growls. He has not been aggressive ever, he just wants to get away and feel safe.

Johnny is super smart and super treat motivated, which will work great for his future training! He needs a home who understands this and will work on helping him feel more secure. Johnny prefers woman over males, but with enough time he will warm up.

Johnny loves other dogs and we suspect a friendly, outgoing dog may be very beneficial in the home. Johnny has proven to be too playful for cats in a home. We are looking for an adult only home for Johnny because a busy home would be very overwhelming.

Please help us find a permeant home for this guy. While we love him so much, we don't want any dog in the shelter this long.
