Meet Deebo! This handsome guy is slowly adjusting to the good life after spending 3 years on the street. While with his foster, he has learned that life in a house is so much better than on the streets and seems to appreciate all the security and comforts that come with having a family of his own. Due to Deebos history, he needs a special family that is willing to continue to work with him and support him as he learns and gains confidence. This sweet boy is nervous with new situations and is a flight risk until he settles so a fenced in yard is a must and he is not recommended for a home with children under 10. While he is a gentle guy, his fear of everyday noises and situations often causes him to want to run and that can include right out an open door or window. Those who have worked with him also joke that being able to lift 50lbs is a plus since sometimes his fear causes him to freeze and not want to do things like come back into the house. Deebo has done well with the other animals in his current foster home and would thrive in a home with another dog that is willing to mentor him on how to dog. He has quickly formed a strong bond with his foster mom and with a little patience, we are confident that bond will transfer to his adopter. Once comfortable, this guy is a love that enjoys the companionship of the humans and animals that he trusts. Despite being 3 years old, Deebo has a lot to discover, such as the joys of playing with toys, snuggling on the couch and more! He is heart worm positive and Adoption First Animal Rescue has begun treating him so his prognosis is a full recovery with a great quality of life. If you think Deebo may be just the cutie youve been looking for, please submit an application to meet him. Due to his history, a meet and greet may need to be scheduled in advance as he may not be available to meet as a walk in during the rescues open hours or events. Please visit our website www.adoptionfirstanimalrescue.com to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.
If you have any questions or would like to adopt Deebo, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
