Rescued from the Baldwin Park shelter, this dog's mysterious past and the loss of his front right leg is lost to the ages. Sardina was timid and shy when first out of the shelter, but he has grown to be a loving, energetic, goofy companion after several months of TLC. He can be territorial and protective of his pack but is comfortable with people and dogs on neutral territory and he seems to ignore cats! Sardinia has come a long way on his leash training. He occasionally barks at dogs on the same street, but can be brought under control with a command and a tug. He may also bark at strangers who approach with eye contact and talk to him. He sure doesn't let his 3 legs slow him down - he is active and energetic, he goes on 3 walks a day and usually 3 runs (3-5 miles) a week. He loves to hike too! His favorite pastimes are sleeping, tormenting fuzzy chew toys, running, hiking, sitting on laps. Please come to an adoption to meet him! Keep up with Sardinia's life in his foster home (nicknamed Sparky) by being his friend on Facebook! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sparky-the-3-legged-Dog/172693339412063?sk=wall
