There are a few things to consider before adopting this sweet guy. Major has primarily been an outdoor dog his entire life. He will need some time and patience to transition indoors since he is getting older.

Major can also be protective of his food. He must be fed independently and kept away from young kids while eating. Major also has an escape history. He will require a fenced-in yard.
