Kane, who is a boxer/pit mix, was brought into the Dickson, TN  shelter as a stray in December 2006...yep, 2006!  He was approx. 1-2 years old at the time.  Since that time he lived in foster care, went through obedience training, and was adopted to a seemingly great home in Nashville where he spent a year.   He was returned to me in May of this year.  In April I had a shoulder injury, which I am still undergoing PT for, and I haven't been able to take in fosters this year.  I was forced to send him back to the trainers, where he has been boarded since May.  I cannot afford to board him any longer...I have paid for part of the boarding but owe hundreds more.  I promised I would get him out of there by Tues. November 25.  I have way too much invested in this dog to put him down...that isn't an option.  He has been through so much the past couple of years and I just want some stability for him.  He is a great dog!!  He comes with a lifetime trainer who he has lived with the past 6 months.  I spoke to the trainer this morning and he says he has had no trouble with Kane at all and that he is available to talk to anyone interested in Kane.  The trainer has a 13 year old boy who is the primary caretaker of Kane and who works Kane everyday.  He would be great with kids over 10.  Kane is fine with all the other dogs at the training/boarding facility.  He has not displayed any aggression since he has stayed there but has bonded with this family and has shown some protectiveness when a stranger comes in the room...only a small growl...but he stops when corrected.  He has not been around cats but has been around a guinea pig and was fine.  He is completely vetted and house trained.  He must go to an inside home only.  If he isn't placed by Tuesday November 25 he will have to go to my vets to be boarded.  There is a $100 adoption fee...this will go towards his boarding expenses...a small fee considering the training Kane has had.  PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU ARE INTERESTED.  I AM IN DICKSON , TN , BUT WILL ASSIST WITH TRANSPORT COSTS ANYWHERE TO A GOOD HOME OR REPUTABLE RESCUE.  615-426-8123
Thanks to everyone for reading about Kane one more time and for passing him on...I just pray this is Kane's time to find his forever home...finally!
