About Sherlock Holmes Tran

Sherlock Holmes Tran is a high energy pup that my family rescued in January 2021 in hopes of being able to give him a better life. He's almost one year old and the sweetest American Bulldog and Doberman mix with a brindle coat that you'll ever meet. He's a very loyal companion that is neutered, microchipped, and has up-to-date vaccinations (records available upon request). My family has already paid in full ($1,495.00) for Sherlock Holmes Tran to be enrolled with Bark Busters' lifetime obedience and behavioral dog training program. He's had a few sessions already over the past 1.5 months, has been responding very well to the training exercises, and has his whole life ahead of him to continue learning. We're happy to provide our trainer's contact information to your rescue team/Sherlock's potential adopter as well. To give some background to Sherlock's situation, he is registered on Garden Grove Animal Control Services' Potentially Dangerous Dog (PDD) list due to an isolated incident that took place in September 2021 when he was staying with a relative for a few days while I was recovering from surgery. His caretaker at the time didn't have secure fencing at her residence and he got loose in an unfamiliar neighborhood. Like most puppies, he was mouthing more frequently at that time, and a dog walker in that neighborhood had Animal Control Services take him to the pound after he mouthed her arm while getting excited to see her and her dog. He hasn't had many opportunities to socialize properly because of COVID-19, so we've generally been at home together and go on walks during off-peak hours to social distance. Sherlock hasn't had any behavioral issues or aggression leading up to or following that isolated incident. My family has made the difficult decision to rehome Sherlock because of financial hardship and because his high energy levels require a more active lifestyle than what we're able to provide him. We are searching for an rescue/adopter that can save him before Wednesday, 12/15/2021, which is the deadline set by the City of Garden Grove's Animal Control Services for us to transfer ownership of Sherlock to an adopter/shelter or surrender him to a shelter as a last resort (which we're desperately trying to avoid because the shelter will euthanize him immediately based on his PDD status without consideration to his actual temperament). If you are able to help rescue him or help us find another rescue/adopter that can save him, my family would be eternally grateful. Please let me know if you have any additional questions about him, his story, Garden Grove PDD owner requirements, or the current circumstances. Thank you for your time and consideration.
