Turbo was rescued from a high kill shelter. He would do best in a home that has the time to spend with him. You would have to go slow with him at first, he is very shy and skittish.
No small children, 13 years and up would be better. We have not seen any aggression with him towards other dogs. All this beautiful dog needs is someone to go slow and love him. In time you will feel so rewarded and loved to have taught this sweet dog the meaning of "You do not have to be scared, and teach him LOVE."
Hi There, I'm Turbo!
I am a sweet, loving, very affectionate companion that needs a real home. I love to play chase and never bark. I love to be inside but i also love my walks. I enjoy chewing on bones but really like to hide them for you to find. It's a great game i hope to show you one day. I am very nervous when i first meet people so i would take me out for Dog for the Day to meet me. By the end of the day when i get used to you i will be your right hand man. My personality really shines the more i get to know you. Please think about taking me out for the day, take a chance on me!
