BenderAvailable

🌟 Meet Bender! 🌟 This magnificent boy is now up for adoption! Neutered and vaccinated, he’s ready for his forever home—one that understands his special needs. Imagine a 65-pound bundle of muscle who believes he’s a lap dog! 🐶 Does that tickle your heart yet? Bender has spent nearly two years with us, and it’s high time he experiences the joy of a loving home outside of the shelter environment. As a breed with unique traits, he needs someone who understands the demeanor of a "prey reactive" dog. When it comes to playing, he loves bigger dogs, but small ones? Not so much—he can be, how shall we say, a bit feisty! He’s like a loyal friend waiting for a buddy to sit down and bond with him. Bender's tough cookie exterior hides a heart full of loyalty! He's very treat-driven, which means he can be swayed with some snacks, but it might take several tries to get him to follow commands. A true testament to his lovable naughty nature! 🍖💖 Now, we must share a little friendly advice: Bender does best in a home without cats, farm animals, or small dogs/animals. He’s a gentle giant at heart but can act like a bulldozer when he’s excited, jumping up and all! For this reason, we’d recommend him for a home with older kids—let’s say 12 years and up—who can appreciate his exuberant antics without getting knocked over. Bender is on a journey of socialization and learning to trust. While he doesn’t mind a good check-up, he has a tendency to be wary of dogs coming up behind him, so ongoing observation and training are essential! 🐾 We’re committed to watching any changes in his behavior and will communicate everything to potential adopters. So, do you believe you have the heart to give Bender the second chance he desperately deserves? If you feel a spark, *apply through the Buddy App* today! Let’s help this lovely boy find the castle he’s always dreamed of! 🏰✨
