Tanner Dogo Argentino Baltimore, MD

Tanner is a 1 year old who is in a foster home with two female dogs and enjoys running and playing with them. Tanner has learned some doggie manners while at his foster home. Tanner needs someone to continue teaching him his obedience. He is in a home with older children and has done well.

Tanner was found on the rural road in south Miami with his brother Tua. We know they lived on the streets a long time and he was covered in mange when he came to the rescue. Despite being on his own he is a precious boy who needs lots of training to learn the basics. He was doing well with his brother for a while but randomly they would get into disagreements.

We don't know how he will do with other dogs at this time. He has a lot of playful and fun energy to burn off and is curious about everything. Since he is 'feral' he will need a calm and patient home willing to work with him! He is going to be an excellent dog and has a lot of potential now that he is with the rescue!

Dogos are a wonderful breed but we urge anyone interested to dig in and do a lot of research before deciding if they are a good fit for your home. They require a lot of attention and training with them never ends! Boundaries must be enforced and they often need reminders as they push past boundaires you set! Dogos are loving, kind and gentle but don't mistake that for weakness because they are equally powerful and intense as well! Everyone in the home must be on board with having a dogo and play a major role in their daily routines and training. Yes it is work, but the rewards are ten-fold! Lazy homes don't work for dogos as they need stimulation, exercise, and lots of attention too during their younger years. Our goal in rescue is to be as transparent as we can about each and every dog plus make sure new families really understand the needs of a dogo!
