He is beautiful. I currently have one female bullie, and in process of adopting another from a rescue. She was in puppy mill, and could not have any other puppies, so horrible person was about to shoot her, but thank God, someone rescued her , and now I have the privilege of bringing her to my family. She had a horrible start in life, but boy she is making up for it now. I know we will have some trust earning to do, but we are patience, as she is showing a beautiful puppy like personally in her foster home, after only a few weeks. I will have 2 beautiful little girls, that are playful and getting into everything. They are going to keep their old parents on their toes, but I would not have it any other way.
So, being new to rescur myself, I dont have any proven advice, except, patience, love and time, it will work. Even just talking to them, while they are near you will do wonders. It will happen, these are loving dogs.
