You're giving me the chance to tell you a little about myself? Well, thank you! I came into rescue as yet another black male mix. There are so many of us in shelters that we get overlooked so I was very relieved to head to RROC. Life was going so well until I was matched to an applicant who was interested in meeting me. The dog in the family obviously had a different plan and went after me at the meet. Since then, I've been very worried about meeting unknown dogs. I've found that making a total loudmouth of myself prevents these unknown dogs from getting close and attacking me. Careful, slow introductions with new dogs helps but I'm perfectly happy as a solo dog. My foster home takes me for walks where and when I won't encounter other dogs. I'm also just fine having a yard of my own to get exercise and not going on walks at all. I think you'll agree I'm well worth any efforts to prevent further trauma to me. Everyone who knows me describes me as sweet and loving and well-behaved. I love learning new commands and behaviors. Please help me find my new home by telling everyone you know who is looking for a dog all about me! On behalf of all black mix male dogs everywhere, I'd appreciate it!
