Hi, my name is Boss Hog, I am about 1 year old & am a slender 46 lbs. My life before this wasn't great. My owner died when I was young, & I came to the shelter with the two other dogs I lived with, I hadn't been around a lot of people so that was really scary! Then I started to get sick, it turned out to be parvo but I'm a strong little guy & came through it! I've also got a bit of a limp from an injury when I was even younger, but I don't mind, the wonderful TX folks made sure I came to WI where I'm now waiting for a place that will love me just the way I am. Here's what I've show my foster family. I'm house/crate/leash trained; I'm learning to like toys like stuffies & Benebones. I'm very timid with new people (my foster mom says my name is aspirational ;-)), so you'll need to be patient while I learn to trust you. I didn't meet many new people in my old life, & I get overwhelmed & shutdown. I do well in my foster's fenced yard, chasing & sniffing, I like to explore. I haven't met any kids or cats yet. I get along great with dogs of all shapes & sizes, they're my happy place!! I trust the other dogs to show me what's safe, so I really need a confident dog friend to show me the way. Once I'm comfortable with them, we can run & chase & play, we can have so much fun!! I may not show you who I am when you first meet me, but I've got so much love to give, with a little patience I'd love to be yours! DATCP#483538
