OK, Facebook friends it's time to get real. Meet our good boy Torin. This 1 year old has been returned not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 times!!! It is time to get serious and find this dog his Forever home so he stops getting returned. He is a great boy, but he is still a puppy!!
We recommend no kids at this time, only because every family that has taken him so far has had kids and returned him for not being able to give him the attention and training he needs because of children. Other dogs might help him exert a lot of his pent-up energy. He needs someone who is going to put in the work and tire him out so that he is not bored. He has such amazing potential, and we need people to listen to us about him. Yes heā€™s cute, yes heā€™s technically an ā€œadult dogā€, yes he loves everyone he meets, including kids, but he needs structure and positive training! If you are looking for a companion to build a bond with and work with, please inquire we are going try and make sure that the next time he is adopted he stays adopted!!!!
