Congratulations to you, Walter and Mickey on making it into the 2012 Calendar!!!!

Hi Justine, thank you for the offer to help. I actually have worked with and trained (and continue to work with) rescue dogs through volunteer experience and now for the past two years through school. The rescues in our program are often very fearful and we put hours of obedience training and socialization into them each week with both one on one and group training. With my current lifestyle and Franklin's personality, I am just not wanting to put the time into a dog that even with significant training I don't think will ever be suitable for my lifestyle. Truck was just such an anxious, fearful dog, but he was also a couch potato and just couldn't keep up to even close to our normal routine. I found him an excellent home with a quiet owner who works from home and has no other pets and doesn't do more than a couple walks a week. I have a feeling this is going to be a much better situation for Truck. He just doesn't like the hustle and bustle of a busy active lifestyle (which I am coming to find is why the original owners re-homed him in the first place) and he is aggressive towards large dogs and reacts with aggression to situations that make him uncomfortable. Not something I want in a dog, I would rather work with an overly active, untrained dog, than a dog that is mellow and fearful.
