Beautiful boy needs home

[Maxy24]

This is for Bruno. He was adopted by a woman who was living with her boyfriend. They broke up and she kept him but she is having a very hard time affording him and giving him all the attention he needs. She is working three jobs and still can't get enough money to afford him. She asked for help to re-home him so I am posting about him here. The owner is a member of another forum I post on.

Prior to being adopted by this woman he was beaten by his first owners so he has some problem with being nervous around strangers, I'm not sure of the extent yet but I will find out very soon.

He is a one year old mix, the owner believes he is a Akita X Husky X German Shepherd mix. He is neutered and micro-chipped. Since i am waiting to here back from the owner I don't have a lot of info on his personality and training but will find out today. I believe he is bad with cats and should not go to a home with kids because of his nervousness with strangers but I will know for sure later.

He is in lincolnshire uk. My next post will be pics of Bruno, he really is a beautiful dog, I would take him if I could.

The owner would actually prefer a person who could foster Bruno until she can get into a home on her own (she is living with her mother) which she is trying very hard to do. But she is willing to adopt him out to someone who really impresses her.

I got more info so I'll do that post now and pics next.

He gets nervous of strangers and will snap so he needs someone who can work with him on that, he might need to be muzzled in areas with many people that he is in close contact to. She says he's he is micro chipped, had injections, wormed, deflead, insured, castrated. no cats or kids younger then 13 but should be good with dogs. He loves to play and go on walks. He is house trained, does not bark and knows basic obedience very well. She will give you toys, bowls, bed, freezer, food, leads, and collars if you adopt/foster him. and she would like a vet check on potential owners.

So if you need any more info I will get it, just ask. Next post is pics.

I hope that she will find him a good home.

It sounds more like she's looking for a boarding facility for him than a foster home. It makes it even tougher when there are social stipulations involved with the dog.
Most rescues and fosters are just not in a position to feed, care for and clean up after a pet that they're not trying to adopt out.
I hope she can find someone to help them out so she can be with her dog.

Beautiful boy! I hope everything works out.

now I think she is looking mostly for a person to adopt him, she knows she is not in the position, and may not be for a while, to care for a dog. What makes things more urgent is that her sister and her baby are moving in soon. This dog fears strangers and will bite if he feels threatened so being in a home with kids is a BIG NO. This is a very sad situation for the dog, he really needs help to get more comfortable with strangers.
