Garth

Could Garth be any more adorable? We just love his pudgy jowls and wiggle pitty bum! At 3 years old, Garth has typcial adolescent energy where he likes to play and maybe do some zoomies in the yard. This handsome boy walks pretty well on leash with an occasional correction when he pulls. Check out all the cool tricks he has learned in just a short period of time! He is so eager to please you! His gorgeous blue/grey coat garners attention wherever he goes but it's his loving personality that really steals hearts! A little bit about Garths history that is known. He was in a Harris County shelter outside of Houston for several months. Garth was a "long stay" and placed on the euthanasia list. He got an extension- 2 days. Several people scrambled and were able to pull Garth from imminent death. He then went to a boarding facility for 3 weeks while transport from Texas to Colorado could be arranged. Garth has been with his foster Mom and Dad for a week and has already made great strides! He currently lives with 2 large dogs- one is a 3 year old Pittie named Remy who is basically "The King of the House". Garth and Remy play well together as Remy tries to teach Garth boundaries when playing. When Garth first arrived he had issues with jumping up on his Foster Mom/Dad. He has only sporadic episodes with jumping after some diligent training. Garth is extremely food/treat driven. He has learned sit/stay and lay down... all in only a week!!! Garth sleeps in a cordoned off kitchen area through the night. His fosters didnt have the heart to put him in a crate for bedtime after all he's been through (although he is crate trained). Garth is strong and very engaging as he has a ton of energy. On leash walks he seems prey driven with interest in bunnies/squirrels and prairie dogs so no adopters with cats. Probably only kids of teenage years or older as well. Ideal adopter would be someone with experience with strong Pitties and willing to put in the time and effort to be consistent with training Garth. He is strong willed and really smart. Garth would do best as an only dog or with a resident dog equally energetic and comparable with his 60 pound frame. Hes a loving and greatful dog looking for a stable home with lots of attention!!! A fenced in yard with active outdoor adopters would be a plus!!!
