About Garth

Garth is so close to getting his second chance - he just needs one last thing: a foster or adopter to help him make the trip. He is currently in Georgia and is hoping to travel to Cedarburg, Wisconsin on May 10th with Mutt Life Dog Rescue, but he cannot board the transport without a confirmed place to land. Garth is stuck in an overcrowded shelter shuttle and desperately needs out. This sweet, playful boy loves other big dogs and would thrive with a doggy buddy to romp and wrestle with. He is very social, friendly, and full of life - but the shelter is wearing him down. After being there for far too long, Garth is starting to lose weight from depression and not eating. Normally, Garth is a happy-go-lucky guy who just wants to love and be loved. He does need some leash work, but with a little patience, he will catch on quickly. Likely a Boxer mix Dog-friendly (big dogs preferred) Cat-friendliness unknown, but we can test if needed Potty Trained: Unknown Garth desperately needs his freedom ride on May 10th - help us show him the good life is waiting for him in Wisconsin.
