A little about them

Deacon is settling into foster care with HugABull after finding shelter life difficult. He is having more moments of peace and enjoyment, and his foster family is helping him feel secure around food.

Ideal Home

Deacon needs an experienced dog person who can continue helping reduce his anxiety. Because of his food intensity, he may be best as the only dog. He is not suitable for a home with cats or small animals due to his high prey drive. No food guarding or aggression has been observed.

Ongoing Health

A full medical workup came back normal. Deacon has started anxiety medication to help him find peace.

Training & Support

Deacon is housebroken and does well in the home when food and garbage are kept out of reach. His foster family is working with him to understand that food will always be available.
