Fallout Is Looking For A Family To Shelter Him

Fallout is approximately two years old and according to the intake records of the shelter that he came from he weighs 42 pounds (but he is obviously underweight).  He was a stray that was not claimed and was scheduled to be killed in an over crowded City facility. The staff named this cute boy Fallout because when he is happy his tongue falls out the side of his mouth.

He initially had an upper respiratory infection which has been treated and he is now fine. Fallout has been neutered, is up-to-date on his inoculations, is heartworm negative, and ready for his new life in a permanent home. 

Below is an update from Fallout’s foster home:

“When I went to pick up Fallout, what was supposed to be a 5 hour trip turned into an 8 hour ride because of the traffic, and he was an angel the whole way. He didn't make a peep. He was the perfect passenger. When we got back home I let him out of the car, brought him in the house, and he was right at home. 

Fallout played with some toys that were on the floor and made fast friends with my white deaf Boxer Alfie.  He was even sweet and gentle to my 11 week old Dachshund mix puppies that I am fostering. He kissed them and snuggled up to them. When it was time for bed, I of course let him sleep with me and he laid right next to me and tried to make out with me all night! Finally, I had to tell him to stop kissing me because it was time for sleep.

Fallout appears to be housebroken and is very sweet. He does need some training on the leash and some basic obedience work. He is strong but, if wearing a harness, he walks
well. He listens to me when I tell him to come and when I redirect him. He just wants to snuggle and play.

He even got the chance to meet my female Boxer, Matilda, aka Tilda the Hun, and when she tried to eat him, he didn't do anything back to her. I do not think he has a dominant bone in his body. He will growl when he plays, but that is nothing. Most of the Boxers I have had and fostered play that way, so it shouldn't be confused with aggression.

Fallout is the cutest and sweetest dog. He will make some family very very happy.”
