Alamo came to us from a high kill shelter in Georgia, skinny and shy.  He's currently in a wonderful foster home and they have been able to give him some TLC while he waits for his forever home!!

Foster update 1/23: Alamo is the perfect dog. He is 150% housebroken and runs free in my home while im away at work. He does not chew or get on the furnature while i am away for upwards of 11 hours. Alamo hardly barks and seems to love every person he meets. He is a bit shy when first meeting people but after a couple of pets and some treats he is your best friend. Alamo currently lives with 2 cats and basically ignores them unless they get in his face. He much prefers a home with no cats (as he wants all the attention) but stands it very well with mine. Alamo rides perfectly quiet and calm in the car. He walks easily on the leash. This dog would be perfect for just about any home as he has the perfect energy level, house manners, and a great temperment with people. He has displayed no food agression or toy aggression with any of my animals or me. He eats "free" food style in my home and shares very easily. He never gets on the bed or sofa unless i pick him up and place him there and even then he seems uncomfortable...he must have been trained to stay off the furnature! He is just a great dog!

Foster Update:  Alamo has come a long way since he first arrived!  He has adjusted amazingly in my home. He is finally at a healthy weight and his coat has become very healthy looking now that is he on a high grade dog food.  His confidence grows more and more every day.  My favorite thing about Alamo is that he understands a routine.  He knows when to be calm and when it is time to be playful.  I no longer use his crate at all and he is getting along well with my dog Neo.  I am working on getting him comfortable at a dog park. He is just a bit cautious at first but after I walk him around on a leash a few times to meet the dogs he does well.  We are working on obedience training and he now knows Sit, Lay Down and Give Kisses, and has started to learn Roll Over. He is better with visual rather than vocal cues.  We are working on socialization as he is a bit timid with larger males at first, but after some tasty treats and a few belly rubs he will love you forever!  He is a great watch dog, if he hears a strange noise outside he is the first to dart out the doggie door and check out what's going on.  But, thankfully, he will only bark when necessary and not at silly simple things.  He is 110% potty trained and knows how to use a doggie door to let himself out. He walks great on a leash staying very close to your side.

Foster Update:  Alamo has started taking trips to the beach every weekend. Although he is still very cautious around water and tends to stay and sun bathe on shore, he is slowly starting to relax in the environment a little more each trip. The first time we went he wouldn't step within 3 feet of the water and last time I got him to put his paws in on his own. I have tested his swimming ability and once he gets comfortable being in water I am sure he will have a blast doggie paddling around.
