Adopted!

I was moved from Marine family to Marine family as my parents were sent to different stations around the world. I have a skin problem which has caused me to lose most of the fur from under my chin to the inside of my back legs. My last caretaker found it very difficult to give me the daily baths that her vet said I needed. Her vet thought I might have allergies. My new vet thinks the skin condition might be a fungal infection, and he has taken great care of me. My ear infection is gone and my skin is looking much better. My vet says my skin is still a little oily, but I don’t have to take those baths for now. He wants to see how my skin does without the baths for awhile. I might not need to take any more! I have been neutered and am up-to-date on my shots, so I am ready to go to my forever home! I have put on a few pounds and look better, but I still need a few more. My previous owner said I am very cautious of men, but I have been doing well with my foster dad, and I did well with the vet. I am concerned about people with domineering attitudes. I get along well with kids of various ages. I walk pretty well on lead, like to ride in the truck, am getting along great with the young girl GSD here. I get along OK with the older girl GSDs, but they can play really rough at times, which I don’t like. I can’t remember if I have ever met a cat. I like to play with the things here that they call Jolly Balls! I was an outside dog before but I haven’t tried to escape from the yard. I am house-trained and crate-trained. I know few commands like Sit, Shake and Come. I am AKC-registerable. If you think you could give me my forever home, please come and meet me at a Gainesville Adoption Day.
