Description

 Originally surrendered to an Animal Contol Officer in rural South Carolina. Ribeye was living in an Extreme Neglect environment.  We are not focusing on Ribeye's past life. It his new chapter that warrants telling. Here is what living with him has revealed: RIBEYE'S FAVORITE THINGS:  *Belly Rubs, Butt Scratches *CHILDREN * KITTY CATS *Suppertime Being Nosy, Peeping at people showering  *The Great Outdoors *Singing, (his and mine)  The Couch, The Big Bed His Crate. What we are working on: *Basic commands ; sit, wait, leave it, watch me *leash walking  * acclimating to car rides *gently accepting treats *shake paw "Ribs" is roughly 7-10yrs , housebroken, not guard dog material lol , adores kids, likes kitties, very quiet, well mannered. Ribs, enjoys his crate and often reclines in it at his leisure.  At this point, I could easily remove the crate as he settles eaily and is not destructive when left alone. We are scheduling of a full veterinary work up ie; vaccines, Heartworm test, physical exam. He has a yeast skin, ears going on, hower with weekly medicated baths, ear cleaning and more importantly proper nutrition,  his skin and ears are remarkably improved. Ribs would be a wonderful family dog. But an only dog. He displays dominate tendencies.  My easy going guy, as the resident dog is currently experiencing some bullying from Ribeye  we suspect this is temporary, given his recent history and food insecurity—So we are being mindful of placement   This dog's adoption fee is $100.
