Sergio aka Dago! He's just THE BEST dog ever!!!  House trained, crate trained, knows basic commands. He's very polite and Velcro!  Has leash manners, his recall is wonderful.  He understands NO very well and is great with cats though he just can't resist his house cat buddies from time to time as any puppy would do! Sergio has the most wonderful eye contact and will gaze at you like he's trying to understand every word you are saying. He is quick to learn and very sensitive to being corrected. Sergio is a HAPPY boy!!! He will make you smile at his joy of life. He's easy going and will happily go with the flow in his big ole puppy way. 

Sergio was found as a starving stray and was in very POOR condition when he came to ABMR. It was obvious that he had a rear leg injury. After x-rays it was presumed that he had been hit by a car sometime in the past. His pelvis and both hind legs had been damaged and had healed. His right rear leg was badly damaged and had not healed correctly so it was decided to do a Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO). Sergio's surgery went VERY well and he is fully healed and just as active as ever. Sergio LOVES to swim and he is FAST!!!  Sergio could actually be a great candidate for dock diving!! But he at least needs access to a pond or pool where he can continue swimming. It is the perfect exercise for him!!

Sergio is a silly LONG legged big ole puppy! He's got a BIG bark that will shake the shutters and he will bark for joy and while he's playing with his dog buddies. He of course has to bark at passing dogs just to let them know he's there. Sergio does know the "no bark" command! He's playful and full of energy. But has a wonderful off switch and will happily lounge around the house in the evenings and help you watch TV. He LOVES food and will do anything for a treat. He will take any treat VERY gently and politely wait for more. We don't know Sergio's back ground but would guess sadly he never had a puppy hood but is making up for it now!       

Sergio LOVES everyone big and small. He especially LOVES kids of all sizes. We would like to place him in a family with children. If he hears kids he will make ever attempt to go find them and gladly greets them with kisses and lots of tail wagging. We don't think that Sergio necessarily needs a dog buddy, though we think he would enjoy one. We aren't sure how he is with small dogs, but think he may play too rough, that can be discussed on a case-by-case basis. Farm animals might be questionable. It is fairly certain that he has never seen farm animals, so it would be something that would need to be discussed further.
