TO BE KILLED 03/23/2021 *A $500 stipend will be offered to the New Hope partner that pulls Mayweather 108599. Please note that in order to qualify for the stipend, the animal cannot go to a boarding facility.* Found with his younger housemate locked up in an apartment, Mayweather was fearful and defensive when brought to the ACC. He however calmed down and realized that people were helping. Like his housemate, he was hungry and underweight already, and it seems Mayweather might have taken his frustration out on the younger and smaller pup. 2 intact males locked up like that, unless they are bonded, add the hunger, the fear and the uncertainty of not being fed regular meals and not seeing their humans, had put these 2 dogs in a very bad situation. Nonetheless, Mayweather has opened up and has decided to put his trust in humans in spite of what he's been through. Mayweather did great in his behavior assessment, stayed by the assessor's side, but has a tendency to become fearful when handled too roughly. Please advocate for Mayweather, even in this bad pic, we can see that he's a gorgeous dog.
