On Friday we welcomed Custer into our home as foster dog #8! Custer is an awesome 1.5 year old American Bulldog/St Bernard mix. At least, that's our best guess :)
He has an endearing underbite, wrinkly smooshy skin, and grunts and snores...sounds like a bulldog to me :) He has a very happy go lucky nature and is generally quite calm. Give him a bone, and he will lay there for hours in happiness! He is good with other dogs, cats, and kids. He is happy to go into his crate and is learning potty training quite quickly. He paces at the door to tell us he needs to go! He love love loves belly rubs and wants to be close to his humans, head in their lap, every chance he can get. He does bark a bit when he sees new dogs across the street or when he hears our crazy dog barking, but otherwise is quite quiet. Unless you count the snoring. And that's just adorable haha.
You may notice that Custer is a little pink. He is fighting mange right now, but he is looking SO much better than we he first came to JR's! He gets a special bath every 2 weeks, and also eats special sensitive skin food to help him grow back his luscious coat :). The first two pictures on this blog are actually of Custer two weeks ago. You can already see the difference! Custer has demodex mange, which is NOT contagious and is generally easy to treat. Just some TLC and baths and he'll be all good :) We gave him his first bath here yesterday and he stood still the whole time and waited to shake off until we were all done! Easy peasy!
I know I say this every time but...I can't believe this guy hasn't found a forever home yet! Check out these awesome pictures of Custer loving life :)

This is when Curtis first met Custer at a Petco event a few
weeks ago. We knew that we would need to bring him
home as soon as we had a free spot :) |
