Dug is a 10 month old, 40 lb. neutered male in Alpharetta, GA.
It’s with a heavy heart that we’ve decided it’s time to find a new home for our buddy, Dug. He’s a loyal, loving, and energetic companion who thrives on attention and activity. But also LOVES cuddles and affection.
He's obsessed with playing, loves toys and loves having the ball thrown for him! He loves to be outside running around but also doesn't want to be away from the people he loves for too long.
Dug has become increasingly protective of our home and family, and while his intentions are good, he needs an owner who can devote the time to proper training and engagement to channel his energy positively. Unfortunately, with our busy, social lifestyle, we can’t provide him with the attention he needs.
He has not actually ever bitten anyone or anything. He has nipped mostly at my kids and visitors and threatened to bite visitors walking into our home or property, but no actual contact. Mostly hands... he get scared and protective when people walk into our home... he is increasingly protective over the kids but is easily calmed down.
He would be so happy in a home with time for training, play, and possibly a working environment (like a farm or active household) and would especially thrive with someone experienced in handling protective breeds or who understands the needs of high-energy dogs. He has so much love to give and deserves a home great home. We’d love to find him a family that can give him the care and attention he needs… as a family we are devastated to come to this decision. We are desperate to find him the right family and will assist however we can to make that happen.
