Hello.
About 3 months ago my girlfriend and I adopted a second dog from the Westport CT shelter named MACK. He's an amazing dog but he needs a really large yard or a farm type of setting. Unfortunately, our schedules have changed a bit and he does not get the attention he deserves. He's a 2 year old pointer mix with what looks to be Dalmatian. He's roughly 70 pounds and is pretty stocky. I refuse to return him to the shelter since he's such a great dog.
I live very close to New Jersey. Not looking to just adopt out to anybody, this dog needs a large yard. He also prefers human males and seems to bond with them better than women.
His qualities:
-Does not bite nor is aggressive to other dogs
-Is not food aggressive, you can put your hand in his dog bowl while he's eating
-He likes to sleep in your bed and constantly needs to be touching you (he lays his head on your chest or any other body part)
-When he's next to you he likes to lean against you
-He is potty trained. Not once did he have an accident in the house, can even hold it for 8+ hours. The shelter said that he's so potty trained that if he really needed to go he would not go in his kennel and would project outside of the door.
-He listens and knows "sit", "couch" and "cage". He will voluntarily run into the cage when you say "cage" or will run to couch if you say "couch"
-He poops at the outskirts of your yard and will never just go in the middle (for the first 2 weeks he would just poop anywhere in the yard but then learned on his own to go on the outskirts).
-He's up to date on shots and has been neutered in the shelter recently
-Supposedly he came from a house that had 3 cats but I have not tested this.
-He's micro chipped
-He's not destructive and will not chew on furniture
-If you like attention then this dog will get it for you.
Why am I looking to give him up?
He needs a farm to get his exercise. He non stop sits by the windows and watches for birds or squirrels. Once he sees them he literally shakes and wants to stalk them. He won't put his feet or nails on the window, just sits there watching. He gets very excited when it's time to go for a walk or to get let out in the yard. He's a pointer at heart so he won't just sit there barking at the prey and will instead just sit quietly stalking. He does lift up his front leg and points in the direction of the animal. Basically, he gets very hyper when it's time to go outside and I feel bad that he doesn't get the exercise he deserves.
