Foster Home Feedback
Foster Feedback 3/23/24: Big Rig! Such a lovely dog. He is cat, big, and little dog friendly. He is crated trained and didn’t have one accident. He doesn’t jump, but he is overweight right now, so not sure if that will change. He is so sweet, just followed me around. He went out by himself to go potty in my fenced yard. We went for a walk and he is a big pup, so he can be strong, but with a front hook harness, he did well. I have not heard him bark, but he gets these little mumbles when he is excited to see you. Rigatoni is a gem, if you are looking for a happy black bear, he is your pup.
** Rigatoni is anaplasmosis and lyme positive. These are tick-borne illnesses, and he is currently being treated with Doxycycline.
