Dog Needs a Good, Loving Home

Dodger is an extremely loving and loyal dog.

The vet said that he is about 3/4 shepherd and 1/4 pit bull. He weighs 42 pounds. He is approximately 18 months old, and he is fairly well trained. He knows commands like "sit," "stay," "come," etc. He's very obedient, doesn't jump on food when you're eating.

However, he has been out on the street for about a month (the vet said she could tell from his nails), so he isn't 100 percent housebroken and he does need some walking training because he pulls. He has his shots, and he is neutered.

He loves attention and affection, and he warms up to people very quickly. He barks when someone comes around the house, but does not bite and is the biggest sweetheart once he gets to know you.

We do not know how he is around children, as we do not have any. He barks at cats and other dogs.

We have food, bowls, toys, a bed and other supplies to provide.
