About Travis

Adoption Fee: $100
German Shepherd mix
Age: Adult
Sex: Male

Hi my name is Travis. I am a 5 yr old Husky Mix. I was adopted from a shelter when I was 8 months old. Shortly after my adoption my human parents divorced. I lived with my Mama and her two children. Eventually Mama remarried and we moved into a blended family situation with four children now and another younger dog sister. I received plenty of attention and had a baby fur sister to play with. I even had my own dog walker. Unfortunately for whatever reason I became food aggressive. We worked with a behaviorist but with four younger children in the house they sometimes forgot the warning signs of my behavior and I bit a child on two separate occasions. Due to the second bite(small puncture wound) the family was forced to remove the dog from the home by DCFS after a report made by two of the children's biological mother who does not have custody of the children. Travis just finished his 10 day Cook county bite hold. Through my friend who was Travis's dog walker, I took Travis into my home after the families attempts to re-home him on their own failed to avoid his euthanization. :/ The last thing they wanted to do but they had no other choice. Due to his bite history the shelter from which he was adopted confirmed he would be put down if returned. Travis is such a wonderful dog sweet as can be, dog friendly and I've had no issues with him other then him guarding his food. He has growled at my dogs and once myself when approaching his food bowl but without any incident. I've since removed his food bowl if he doesn't eat it too avoid conflict. Travis needs a home without young children who will work on his issue as well as give him the exercise and care he requires. He is UTD on vaccinations, neutered, and microchipped and I have all his paperwork. He weighs 64 lbs. I've been fostering for many years and know dogs pretty well and I can honestly say that Travis is a wonderful boy with many years of love to give. Travis is on vet prescribed prednisone he takes one pill every 2:3 days as needed. If you'd like more info or would like to meet Travis please PM me.
