Victor - Bulldog-Unknown Mix Male Dog For Adoption in Kennesaw, Georgia, USA

Dog Breed: Bulldog / Mixed.

AN ACTIVE & FUN FRIEND: Approx. 5 years old / Approx. 50 lbs. Hi, I'm Victor! Mostly Mutts rescued me from animal control, & I am very happy about that! I loved the attention from the volunteers while I was at Mostly Mutts & now, I love being in a wonderful foster home! I was also previously selected to participate in the Mostly Mutts Prison Pups immersive training experience & learned a lot! Now I am ready for my 'happily ever after' with my new family. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts & do not like them, so I'd like to be your only dog. / Cats unknown. / I met a nice boy & a girl around 10 years old at Mostly Mutts & I was a bit all over them in a happy & excited way—being a bit mouthy & chasing them when they ran, so kids 15+ may be a better match for me. Let's meet! Also, it would be best if kids do not walk me due to my strength & dislike for other dogs. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I am an active & fun guy with a friendly & playful demeanor. My affectionate nature has charmed the volunteers & they refer to me as 'a super sweet boy'. In fact, my whole-body wags with excitement when I know it's my turn to spend time with them. Now that I'm in a foster home, of course I love it when my foster spends time with me, too & when he's away, he turns the TV on for me, which I seem to enjoy! My foster is helping me to rest & heal some leg challenges (please see medical below for information). I've been a very good boy for bathtime, calm as can be, soaking up all the one-on-one time & my bather says I have the most beautiful eyes. I can get a little mouthy when I'm excited & that playful behavior has occasionally resulted in some unintentional, never-to-be-mean skin grabs—so having a toy or ball to give me & not getting down right in my face helps with that. I'm very easy to redirect & the trainers will happily show you the techniques that work with me. My foster took me on a road trip to the beach & I was so good in the car, enjoyed walking in the sand & following the waves lapping up on the shore. Social, loving & energetic describes me very well. / My energy level has been high at 6-8+ at the shelter, however it's a bit lower in my foster home as they are helping me to be calmer so my legs can get a rest. I'm more relaxed/chill than when at the shelter, though still a very active dog. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm a proud graduate of the Mostly Mutts Prison Pups immersive training experience so I've learned the 'sit', 'stay', 'down', 'come', 'drop it', 'leave it' & 'place' commands. I also use proper door etiquette & have good leash manners using my gentle leader as well as accept nice strangers without jumping. I also know some silly commands such as 'bang bang' & I 'play dead'. Let's continue my training as there are more classes I can take through the free lifetime training that Mostly Mutts offers for their rescue dogs. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts as well as in my foster home. When my foster is away, I stay in a bedroom with my crate door open so I can go in & out of it. Just make sure there aren't things that I could get into if I get bored. / I had good potty habits in the off-site training program, while at MM & in my foster home, too, so yay me! • LIKES/DISLIKES: I absolutely love going for car rides & would be the best travel buddy—I can ride all day (5 hours to the beach!) & I'm so happy that my foster takes me for several car rides every day while I rest a bit to work on my leg challenges! I also love playing tug o' war, though watch for my regrip as I don't want to accidentally get your hand. Toys are super fun, so let's have a variety to play with together. I love people & enjoy just about any activity with them. Affectionate & loving, I also put energy into giving kisses, cuddles & happy tail wags & I'm a big fan of belly rubs & playing with balls, rope toys & bones. I love playing fetch, but should avoid this for now. Lying in the grass soaking up the sun is so nice. Cheese & peanut butter make for some yummy snacks! / I don't care for other dogs, rotisserie chicken, sirens, aerosol sprays or thunder (but the vacuum & hairdryer noises don't bother me) & I'm not too sure about motorcycles passing so perhaps a quieter walking area would be nice. I also don't like people to mess with my ears too much. I'm sure I wouldn't like it if I didn't get enough love, attention, exercise & training. • MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped & neutered. I'm on an allergy medication called Zenrelia. I have luxating patellas & have now been diagnosed with torn CCLs in my rear legs & some hip dysplasia. I've been evaluated for corrective surgery, by an Orthopedic Surgery specialist & they do not believe I'm a good candidate for the multiple & very complex surgeries, & extensive crate restrictions that would be needed, so it's being managed medically for the best quality of life for me & it's going well. I'm on a few medications for this (just ask for details about me & the medications). My mobility is perfectly normal some days & limping/limited other days but is very manageable—just ask! I have had past ear infections so my ears may be sensitive for cleaning & a muzzle for vetting is recommended for my comfort. I am looking for a wonderful home with a loving family for life! My adoption fee is $299.00 & I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.
