Sex: Male (altered)

Location: Royston, GA area

Vet Info: Dozer is confirmed neutered and up to date on the rabies and bordetella vaccines.  He is heartworm negative (test done in June). Dozer weighs about 65 pounds.

Owner Info:  Dozer is a very handsome fellow whose owner is going through a difficult time.  She writes, "I have had Dozer since he was born. He is very friendly, loving. He's great with my 2 small kids. And had never give us a problem with the other small dogs. I am going through a divorce and have been living with my mom. Me and my 2 children have an apartment now that doesn't allow pets and my mom can't keep Dozer due to medical issues."  She is hoping that Dozer will find a new home or rescue as soon as possible!  Dozer is not able to live with her ex-husband.

Dozer is an outdoor dog on a tie-out.  He is housebroken but not leash trained.  He knows the commands, Sit and Shake!   Dozer is a very friendly fellow and is described as outgoing.  He is good with people of all ages, female dogs, and cats.  His owner gave us more detail about how he is with male dogs:  "I took him to the animal shelter in lavonia and she brought several male dogs out. He was very good with them, but when he is at my home he is very protective of our house. He usually has to get to know another male dog before he lets them come in the yard."

Dozer is not possessive of toys, treats, or food and has never bitten or snapped.  His owner feels he adapts well to new situations.

Dozer is blind in one eye, but can see out of the other eye.  Other than that, his owner tells us he is healthy, "but he got run over one time when I was letting him run around the yard. He got in the road, and it broke his arm. So he has a limp."

Dozer's owner wants us to know she loves him very much, but feels this is the best thing for him.  "Dozer is my baby, I really don't want to lose him but I'm a full-time student and a single mom."

Update 9/13/16: We've heard from Dozer's owner, and he is becoming quite urgent!  She has moved into an apartment with her children, and her mother has Dozer.  Her mother's health is not good, and Dozer is not able to stay there for long.  She writes, "I have to find somewhere for him to go soon...."
