Huckleberry is a 5 year old Boerboel mastiff coming into rescue all the way from Alabama.
Arriving into rescue he was emaciated with poor body and skin condition. In spite of the obvious horrible history, he never lost his enthusiasm to love and trust people or other dogs.
Huck is the epitome of a "great dog"

Crate trained: yes

House trained: yes   

Cats, Huck completely ignores. Smells and walks right by
does well with dogs and ok with children over 6

Likes: loves food, other dogs, playing tug, and is extremely social

Dislikes: does not like being by himself. he wants his human or another dog to go outside with him.

Personality/Temperament: quiet, gentle, calm, social, trusting

Energy level: medium right now, at five years old, he is currently trying to regain his energy level due to his past poor nutrition, he does like to go outside and run around and play but then will come in to find his blanket and curl up for a period of rest.

Challenges: Huckleberry is currently heartworm positive, but will receive treatment before he is available for adoption. He will make a full recovery and a great companion.

Huckleberry has become part of the "pack" at his foster home and enjoys the company of other dogs. He continues to improve as he is eating well and gaining weight. He would do well with other dogs and a family that has activity to follow around and keep him busy. He should be ready for adoption around the end of the year when his heartworm treatment is complete.

Fostered in Knoxville, MD.
