About Darwin

Adoption Fee: $20
American Bulldog
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

Darwin (A4093543) 3 yrs old, has been at the shelter since 8/17/18. He is a serious looking dog but very affectionate once he gets to know you. He is a regular in playgroups and enjoys rowdy play with a variety of dogs; he has seen best friends leave the shelter (the most recent one being Felicity) and is waiting for his forever family to show up. Today he was my Day Foster and we had a great time together!! He was a bit difficult to get in the car (I had to help him), but once in the back seat he did not move until the door was open and he was invited to come out. He did great on the trail, staying a few steps behind me or walking just by my side most of the time. The leash did not have any tension and several times I looked back to make sure he was still there (what a difference from the shelter, where he pulls a lot, trying to get wherever you take him in a hurry). He was social with all the dogs we ran into at the trail (small and big ones), trying to play with them and whining a little bit when not allowed. After the hike we went to the Biltmore lakes, where he made it clear that he is NOT a water dog ��%BD��%BD%BD��%BD��%BD%BD%BD��%BD��%BD%BD��%BD��%BD%BD%BD��%BD��%BD%BD��%BD��%BD%BD%BD��%BD��%BD%BD��%BD��%BD%BD%BD He again did very well at PetSmart, around other dogs and people; he was even polite enough to choose a cheap toy to buy!! On the way to the shelter we got a few treats that he only ate when I fed them to him; he didn't try to get them from my hand! He is a great dog that deserves a great family, his only problem is his tendency to jump to give kisses, what given his size could be an issue around young kids. Other than that I did not see any other concerns during our outing! He is available for adoption at MCAC East Shelter- From volunteer MJ Bailon
