Utah

Updated on Monday, 11/29/2004

Adopted!

Utah is a quiet and affectionate, black-and-tan, 95 pound, gentle giant that gets along nicely with other dogs, cats, and kids older than 8 in his foster home. He loves playing with his foster brothers and sisters, but really does not like the household cat. Utah enjoys running about with a soccer, basketball, or stuffed animal firmly clamped in his huge but gentle jaws, wanting to play, and he really enjoys long gentle head massages. On the lead he pulls a bit but is completely manageable and he loves long walks. Though he is not well trained to specific commands he is house-trained, heeds warnings, and doesn't run away or wander off when off lead, as he prefers to stay near and follow you everywhere. Utah will make a great addition to a family that will take time to teach him the rules. He does want to please. Utah (he prefers being called Buddy) needs someone to get him wagging his tail again. Perhaps he's the guy for you. Utah is being fostered in Northern Virginia. CPVA Adopted: 08/04/04.
