About Bogard

Bogard came into NARPS in a crazy way. Other rescue friends found this guy tied to a pole in freezing temperatures this past December. Animal control showed up and whisked him off to ACCT Philly. There the vet immediately acknowledged he wasn't feeling so hot and pushed for rescue. We jumped right in and sent him off to our friends at VSEC Philadelphia for evaluation. There he was found to have an obstruction which required a costly surgery. We said okay let's go for it knowing that we would need to work our butts off to fundraise enough to cover it. Well he came out perfectly healthy and happy which made all the craziness worth it. After the surgery we learned a few things about our large new family member. Although we don't know much about his past we can take a pretty solid guess that he was not being treated kindly. Bogard is a bit nervous, and requires someone to take the lead and show him the world is not so bad. He has a definite issue with men in particular but his foster is working with him on that. It takes him a few meets to warm up to guys. He is also only a pup, we are guessing still under a year. Bogard will absolutely require professional training which will be provided by NARPS for anyone who would like to foster. While he does need some work he has a lot of great things going his way! He is very dog friendly, and even doesn't mind cats. He is crate trained and knows his basic commands. Bogard walks wonderfully on a leash despite his large size. We do not think Bogard should be in a house with children because he has an issue with people touching his head (it crushes us to think what kind of life he had prior to coming to NARPS).
