They call me Pumba. The past year has not been good to me. I was put in an animal control shelter in Texas. I was found very Malnourished and Flea infested. I did have a microchip; my owners were notified but never came to claim me. That's okay, I am looking for a better beautiful future. I am food obsessive and would have to be fed separate if other pets are in the home. Foster mom thinks this is because of my never knowing where my next food source would come from. So, I will resource guard all my food and treats. I'm fine with 2 small dogs and 1 large dog in my foster home. But I sure would like more single attention of my own. I snuggle under the blankets for sleep time. I will go in a open crate with blankets also. I do not however like the door to be shut on me. I will bark continuously. I really don't need to be locked in. I am a good boy. I hate this cold Minnesota weather, so I do my business right away when I go out. I have also used the potty pad now and then, so I don't have to venture out. I do very well on a leash and love a good walk. I have a nice large fenced in yard here. I probably should have a single dwelling as I can be vocal if crated and left alone. I do alert if someone is at the door. Hi, Pumba 's foster mom here. Please fill out an application if Pumba has caught your eye. I would be very happy to answer any questions you may have about him. He would make a wonderful companion for most anyone. But I think would love his very own person or two with all their attention devoted to him. Thank you for reading his profile. Adoption Fee: $395 INTERESTED IN MEETING ME?
