Marcus

Urgent

Update:  9/22/11





Breed:  Pitbull

Age/Sex:  2 yrs/Male

Can you please help me with this dog.  Marcus was in the shelter ages ago.  I was notified and almost had a home but another group took him.  He is now in boarding in the Bronx.  This is not a good place for him.

He needs to go to a vet. We thought he had vestibular problem (walks in circles...not spin) used to have head tilt. Also it seems pupils are dilated ..maybe head injury He is very tiny (under 40 lbs) I have his vetting covered, but he needs to go somewhere afterwards Cannot go back to boarding place where he is now.  The other group was going to do all vetting, but was not able to.  I’m not exactly sure how he is with other dogs.  His first foster kept him separate, because he was sick at the time.  

here are a bunch some video of He was pulled out of ACC (off euth list) in April and has had no home since then.  He is a love and needs a foster or forever ASAP .  Yes, he is deaf.  He is a tiny thing just under 40 lbs, but the size of a cocker spaniel.  He does not seem to know hand signals, or even to pay attention.......  but will learn quickly.  No aggression.  Really sweet.  Needs to learn impulse control.  I am happy to train him , I cannot keep him at my house.  Foster in Brooklyn would be great!!  or NYC he walks in circles and we thought it might be neurological, but I think it is stress induced.  He makes up his own games and does many things that bored under stimulated dogs do.  (flips his bowl, throws things around. He can entertain himself for hours........  but really needs a family)  He loves to play tug, which can be a pain, but once he learns the rules of tug it will be a great reward for him.

He is up to date on vaccines and will be neutered this week.

He has so much potential....... please share, share, share
