Bones - American Bulldog

A very scared young lad came in today with no name, we have called him Bones & he is very skinny & terrified although he allowed me in the kennel & took treats very gently from me. He knows sit & down, he also gives paw very gently but does not like being touched at all.

def a bag of bones,but we know you will sort him out.
he is adorable.what is his story do you know?

He was a very good boy when I went in his kennel to feed him, although hungry he sat and waited for me to feed him

A couple more

He was a stray Mel today was his PTS day so no history on him at all but at one time he was taught manners, hate to think what happened and how he ended up in a pound

Glad he is with you now

OMG when I first saw Bones it brought tears to my eyes. Poor boy. He seems to want affestion but too scared to asked. Such a sad boy. Likes to bark alot though. Perhaps Duchess will look after him and show him that we mean no harm to him. I'm sure that Sharon and Gilly will make him shine again. Duchess seems to the boys
It was so pitiful when we watched Bones give his paw to Gilly for the next biscuit.

Good luck Bones, life can only get better now

Today Bones let me stoke his head with both hands at once, rub his ears & scratch his neck all around his collar

He's really worried about having a lead attached to his collar & if I went to go passed his neck he got really worried, but he was a lot improved today & I'm sure he will grow in confidence every day

This thread I am looking forward to following
and to see how he progresses

Tonight he let me put a lead on him and walk him around the field, I even managed a stroke of his back whilst we were walking he is eating well and really enjoyed chicken carcass tonight

Way to go Boney boy
Shazza

Great news

hope too see him with a bit more weight on, at the moment he does not look much like an American Bulldog poor lad

poor lad. glad he is in safe hands now.. the only way is forward for him now..

Poor Boy ,the expression in those eyes says it all.
It will be great to see how he improves.

Well done Bones Sharon and Gilly are making you shine again. I'm gonna love this boy.

He has such a sweet looking face....

I can't wait to see you put happy back on his face. Look forward to meeting him.

Can't believe it is the same dog that came in Saturday

Quite confident, took a biscuit and has put on a bit of weight, one to keep an eye on he is so scrummy

OOOOOOO Poor Boy.. but your do your Magic Sharon and & Gilly ...he will learn to love and trust humans ..

I had him on the long line in the field yesterday playing ball, he is going to be a whole heap of fun
He never pulled on the line once & came to me when I called him every time.............until he saw auntie Sharron that is

I know what you mean Gilly. When ever I'm out walking a dog all calm and enjoying the walk when all of a sudden you're being pulled the other way Why because they have seen Sharon. Wonder if it's something to do with FOOD

You are all more than welcome to come and do the feeding

Had the pleasure of meeting this lad today and what a little SWEETIE

He is SO gentle when he takes his food and his little paw comes up. AAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW
