About REESES

TO BE KILLED 04/20/2021 A $500 stipend will be offered to the New Hope partner that pulls Reeses 113575. Please note that in order to qualify for the stipend, the animal cannot go to a boarding facility. Puppy Reeses, still a puppy at 13 months old is not given much time, and is added to the kill list immediately. Friendly, affectionate, still needing a lot of guidance, (because that's how puppies are!), he was put in a bad situation by his owner, again and again. We don't know how long he's been with his owner, and how long he's been living with the small dog that he was good with before the altercation. The owner said there was no known trigger, to him. Reeses, at a year old, is already in his puberty, his nature is being controlled by the male hormones released into his system during this stage. Dogs are hierarchal by nature, and this youngster might be trying to establish his position over the other dog, who most probably is passively resisting it. This happens in a pack with unaltered male dogs. Reeses just needs to be neutered, and to be guided by an experienced person. Reeses is smart and loving, he would be easy to train. Already he knows a lot of commands and is almost house trained. Please help Reeses find his miracle, or they won't hesitate killing this baby.
