I am the mother of two rescues, and both are spoiled rotten. Dawg is a chow/golden retriever/austrialian sheepdog mix and is very territorial ever since we brought home Charlie, pound puppy, that the original owner lied, he has some form of epilepsy has siezures about once a month. If he goes on medicine, it could damage his liver, I am usually home all day so I can help Charlie thru his siezures and make sure he knows he's ok. As long as he doesn't seem to have complications I will not put him on medication, don't like the thought of him being doped up. Dawg only territorial around house or around my truck, other than that he is very friendly. Congrats on new family member.
