Hello everyone,
My name is Londe and I rescued a English Bulldog 2 years ago, his name is Otis. Otis is very adorable, handsome, and funny but, can also be a bit of a challenge. I am sure many of you can relate. I love him to pieces but, he has a lot of allergies, and behavioral issues. I know that is common in rescue dogs but, he seems to have more than at times I can handle. I am starting by taking him off IAMs for Bulldogs and cooking for him and giving vitamin supplements. One protein at a time starting with turkey and veggies. We will see how that goes.
The second major issue that I have with "O" is that he was neutered late and likes to mark. First marking was just outside but recently, he is urinating on things in the house. I can't afford a trainer (which is what I need), he is also very aggressive with other animals and gets way too exciting around small children.
I want to leave this on a positive note, Otis is a wonderful dog he just has some issues (don't we all). Otis was rescued when I first got married but, the marriage did not last. He is really my ex husband's dog and he (my ex) just left him. I am doing my best to keep Otis from going back to a shelter. Otis and I were always much closer than he ever was with my husband. To make things worse, I don't know much about dogs in general. I had a dog that I rescued in her senior years and was just with me for 4 years because, she got cancer. I know Bulldogs are a tough breed, high maintenance but, I am a fast learner and very devoted to helping Otis. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!! Thank you!
