Bingo 3

On February 23, Bingo was found tied to a light pole on a construction site in a neighborhood. The dog was traumatized and injured. At first he drew back from me as if he had a fear of male figures. We took him to our vet and X-rays showed a hairline fracture of the right hip socket. There was also a flesh wound on the left rear leg. The vet surmises that he may have been struck by a car. He tested negative for heartworms. We were given medication for pain and an intestinal parasite. Our vet estimates his age to be about 2 years. In the first 2 weeks that we sheltered the dog he has completely changed in demeanor. He appears to be happy and social in his surroundings. He is gentle with children. Our 4 year old granddaughter has named him "Bingo" and is quite fond of him. We have prepared a place for him the garage for sleeping at night. Not once has he soiled the place. In the morning we put him in our fenced in back yard where he has freedom to move about. He appears to defecate in the same area each time. He will come to the threshold of the doorway, but not enter the house. If he tends toward inappropriate behavior, saying "No" will cause him to correct himself. All this tends to make us think that he had a structured life at one time and is housebroken. We are not in a position to keep the dog. We are in our seventies and just can't provide the activity that this breed requires. And our three cats will not hear of it. We believe him to be a fine dog that could be a great addition to the right family. Please contact Pat with questions about adopting at 713-446-7469 or barkwood@swbell.net
