Because of his condition, he must live as an indoor dog in a home committed to providing long term medical support, structure, and supervision. He is very high energy and thrives with routine and consistent handling. He is potty trained, crate trained, loves car rides, and absolutely adores people and children. He enjoys human companionship and is very affectionate with his family.He will need to be the only animal in the home. Previous owners reported that he does not do well with other dogs and may chase smaller animals, including cats.He is looking for a patient, understanding adopter willing to love him exactly as he is and provide the lifelong care he deserves.
