Ghost MM*

Ghost is a Beagle Mix, 1 year and 6 months old and 35 lbs. He is good with cats and dogs, but not good with kids. He gets very scared of toddlers but is fine with older kids (preteens and older). He is potty trained, crate trained with a calm/happy temperament. Ghost is a strong pup, he is a … superhero to me, like Superman, or more like Superdog! He has overcome so many obstacles and might be cautious at first but warms up to be such a love bug. As a puppy, unfortunately, he was terrorized by a group of young kids that spray painted him blue, threw rocks at him, broke his tail, tried to break his neck and threw him around daily. He was saved by a family that found him injured, and he has healed from the physical wounds but has a thickened neck and suffers from Masticatory Muscle Myositis (MMM) as a result of that trauma. He went through treatment with the rescue and he is now stable, he needs special attention as his jaw might tighten and limit his ability to open his mouth to pick up a toy or chew. He does not have any issues eating but can’t chew large treats. He is learning “sit” and is working on “off” only because he gets so excited to see people that he jumps up to say ‘Hi’ which is really amazing because of what happened to him as a baby… He has forgiven and forgotten and now he is ready for a real loving family to give him the life he totally deserves. He smiles when you ask him to show his teeth! He has such a unique personality and he has so many names that describe him. So far he has been called Taco Bell, Turkey Taco, Bongo (drums), Twinkie, and Chicken. He loves to roll around on his back and lay down flat in his stomach. His playmates in his foster home are two 80 lbs pups and he holds his own, will back them up in the yard against the squirrels one minute and falls asleep the next minute. His theme song is definitely Puppy Dog Bouncin’ In The Box by RxckStxr so if you are looking for a Superdog or a total rock star, Ghost is your boy!!!
