Courage in KY - Gentle With The Kitties!

Courage—his name says it all and, there is an abundance of good things to say about this boy! Courage has an easy-going, pleasing personality, and as his name suggests, he has the firmness of mind and will to face danger, opposition, and withstand hardship, and still come out on top. How his story began… he was purchased with a female to be used for breeding, the owner couple broke up, and Courage and his mate (Cruella) ended up on a farm in a kennel with one meal a day and a doghouse for shelter. Of course, she became pregnant, so rescue was contacted for help and today both are safe and learning what it means to be protected, loved, and treated as the special dogs they are. Courage is enjoying life, from running and playing with the other dogs, to getting brushed, petted and lots of attention from his person. He has learned to walk on a leash, jump up in the car for a ride and will sit for a treat and come when he is called. He is very friendly with all the dogs and is ever-so-gentle with the cats, who he loves to sniff as they rub all over his face and between his legs. A secure fence is a must as this boy has the typical PYR personality and truly enjoys going out to patrol his yard telling all he is on duty. This handsome boy has a great demeanor, loves to explore - inside and out - and will fit into most situations if it includes love, patience, and attention and plenty of praise, pets, and treats! Courage promises to hold true to his name and watch over his family, keeping everything safe, and be your best friend for life!
