GSRA adopts to residents of VA, NC, and SC only
Hey there! My name is Ajax, and I am a striking young fellow in search of a new home. I recently came into the rescue my owner ended up in the hospital with a terminal illness. Not much is known about my past, apparently my prior owner only had me for a couple of months.
So, we will just work with what we know here. I am approximately 3 to 4 years old, I weigh about 65 pounds, and have a beautiful reddish sable coat. I am a very smart boy, and at some point in my past I have had some training. I know how to sit, down, stay (well, sort of I’m a bit weak on this one), and I walk fairly well on a leash. I am usually pretty shy and reserved when meeting new people, but I am extremely food motivated, and if you have a tasty treat, I will quickly become your friend. Although I’m a little cautious and shy, I do warm up within a couple of days and I will become your best friend.
I love attention and will happily follow you around everywhere. I’d like to play ball and go for walks, and I am totally obsessed with the water hose! I think it’s great fun to try to catch the water as it comes out of the hose. I also will jump up in the air and try to catch raindrops during heavy storms, my foster mom thinks it’s a funny and unique behavior!
I was initially very apprehensive around other dogs, but once I get proper intros I do fine. I have several foster friends that I play with in the yard, and I tend to match my place style to their energy level. I am very rambunctious with the younger high energy dogs, but I do manage to tone it down when I play with some of the older ones.
I am a fairly quiet boy and do not bark a whole lot, and when I get excited and start running around, I do correct easily with a few verbal commands. I’m very eager to please, and I’m just looking for someone who wants to love me and interact with me and let me share in their adventures. I would love a home with a fenced yard to play in. I also love going for car rides. I would also do best in a home where someone is home most of the time.
I do have quite a bit of prey drive, so a home without kitties is required.
I do have a slight case of conjunctivitis. My eyes got a little inflamed at times. I have been on medication and it is quite manageable. I will actually sit and let you put the drops in my eyes every couple of days.
I’m a very fun fellow and I’m looking forward to a long life of adventures with my new family! If you think I might be the one for you, please come and meet me soon!
Love, Ajax
