Sebastian

Sebastian is such an active little guy! He is goofy, happy, playful, derpy and an adorably loving boy. He wants to run, wrestle, play and cuddle with every dog that will let him. The other dogs in his adoptive home must be prepared for an immediate new best friend. Bash is overly social and has yet to meet any human (big or small) that hasn’t fallen head over paws for him! Bash is all play all the time; he is ALL gas and no brakes! He prefers to take his playtime outdoors but is okay settling indoors with his favorite toy (all toys are Bash’s favorite toy) or with his beloved Nylabone. Once one of his furry foster friends raises their paw and indicates “wrestlemania” is on, Bash is the first one in the ring! This playful boy will attempt to engage any dog in his fun and if he can’t get them to play, he’ll move on to his beloved humans. Big or small he loves them all! In true bulldog fashion, he does have a chill side and will peacefully nap next to his humans when he is completely spent! He follows his foster family around and truly believes he is the best helper when it comes to most household chores; don’t let him tell you any different! He is still learning how to play gently, how to share his prized possessions, and overall dog manners. As any young dog he should always be closely supervised and have a couple of nylabones/chew toys available to redirect him to what is an appropriate chew item. Bash’s foster family feels he would thrive in a home with other dogs, probably more so with easy-going, friendly dogs that have the patience and an abundant amount of energy level to match his. Bash is cat-savvy as long as the cat is dog-savvy! Since he loves wrestling and roughhousing with other dogs during playtime, he would also need other dogs that wouldn’t mind a young dog around that loves to play and still has that puppy energy! Bash is a complete people person! He has yet to meet a human he hasn’t demanded attention from, greeted with a cute little bark, and wanted to receive some love and pets from. He falls head over paws for any and all human attention! Given his overzealous temperament and overall wild disposition we feel he would be pawfect in a home with children 5 years or older as long as they are calm, gentle, and dog savvy. As always, Bash should always be supervised when he meets children and other dogs to make sure he and they are kept safe. Bash is urine and fecal incontinent and is unable to tell when he needs to urinate or defecate. He will need an adoptive family that is able and willing to express his bladder and change his diapers for the rest of his life. His adoptive family should have some experience or education with incontinent dogs and be prepared for the additional care that comes along with his situation. Bash does VERY WELL with his diaper routine and responds well when it is time to change his diaper. Currently, his foster family uses a combination of disposable toddler diapers, washable dog diapers, and belly bands. Because he is more susceptible to UTIs, keeping him clean and dry is imperative to ensure he doesn’t encounter additional infections. Bash is fed a raw diet; this helps keep his bowel movements at manageable sizes and quantities. As long as he is kept clean to prevent any infections, he should be able to live a pretty normal life. Bash has been neutered, updated on vaccinations, deworming, and heartworm prevention. He is microchipped and has been given the all-clear for adoption by our veterinarian! Bash does have a wonky gait but this does not stop him at all! Bash runs, jumps, and plays just like any young dog his age would. Bash would be a great addition to any family as long as a consistent routine is established, he follows his prescribed diet/supplements and has a healthy outlet for his energy. A home with stairs would be just fine for him as he is a champ with stairs! A fenced yard is a requirement for adoption as Bash is a RUNNER! It is always preferred for his ongoing safety. Ultimately, Bash would best fit a family that is willing to establish and maintain a routine. He will need a family that is not regularly away from the home for more than 4 hours or can come home to change his diaper mid-day if they work outside of the home. We also think he’d love to go work with his new family if they are able to take him with them.
