Welcome a new boy to RAGOM. This is Harold! He was found living along the interstate in Missouri, taken to a local shelter and is now in our care. His age is guessed to be about 8 but we cannot say for sure. He was very shy about going in and out of the door to go potty and also of stairs but he has slowly gotten used to them. He was neutered this past Tuesday and they discovered a mass on one of his testicles. The vet said the tumor was encased and they got it all. They do not believe it was cancerous and his prognosis is good!! He barely weighs 45 pounds so he needs to gain a good 10-15 pounds to cover the ribs and hip bones that are very noticeable. The vet said that he has some broken off teeth but they don't seem t bother him. He does know how to sit and doesn't seem to have an aggressive bone in his body.

Harold is a great dog. He loves to be near you and if you get up, he also gets up to see what you are doing. He sleeps through the night next to our bed and has free roam of the house during the day. We had a problem with him marking when he first got here but between us watching him and him getting neutered, we have not had a problem. He tends to startle easily and can be a little skidish when we reach for him but that seems to be lessening. He gets along well with our dogs and doesn't bother our cat. In fact, he seems to be a little afraid of her and will walk away if she comes near him!

He is fine with other dogs but I think he would be happy being an only dog too. If you are interested in talking to us about this wonderful boy, please contact placement.
