Bronx and his lady-friend Karley (already adopted!) were well-known
figures at the shelter, thanks to their habit of slipping out of their backyard
and roaming the neighborhood. Sometimes they made it back to their own front
door before the law caught up with them, and sometimes they had to spend a night
or two in the pokey before returning to their registered address. However… two
bored yard dogs can always put their heads together and figure out a means of
escape, so it wouldn’t be long before the two law-breakers were at it again!
Finally, the owners decided to relinquish ownership, so the
cheerful pair became Gold Ribbon dogs on December 14th.
Rambunctious & sweet, Bronx has settled right into his foster home.
Foster mom gives this report:
This dog is AWESOME!!! His tail is a lethal weapon - wags all the
time & his whole rear end goes with it. This is most definitely not an alpha
dog. In fact, you can really can tell he has been around other dogs, as he fit
in immediately with my four. No "smack-talking" from Phineas: in fact, they are
lying side-by-side right now as I write this. Starting from the very first
night, he slept through the night at the foot of my bed, ate his dinner right
beside the other pups, and if he could, he would spend the rest of his time
sitting in your lap! He walked right past our two cats, Salome & Sweetie (so now
we know he is cat friendly).
Bronx will make a wonderful pet IF someone can ensure he doesn't
get out. Old habits die hard and since he’s used to breaking out and roaming, it
will take a while to cure him of that tendency. You need to be sure gates are
ver secure, & that he can’t pop through an opened door past you; and we’ve taken
to closing the laundry room door before opening the garage door as another
precaution, since he likes to "hang out" by the door if he knows you are
leaving.
He doesn't walk well on a leash (pulls a lot) but I know that will
improve.
Oh, we even made cookies his first night, had them cooling on the
table & not one dog attempted to steal anything. They were all underfoot hoping
something would fall to the floor, but were basically good doggies!
