I was adopted as a little pup, but now that I've grown up my family says I'm too big and too strong (I do pull on the leash) so they brought me back to the shelter. My name is Sharkie (ID A613280) and I’m 4 years old and weigh 64 pounds. I'm a fun-loving guy and quite unique looking, I'm sure there won't be any other dogs on the block that look like me. I could be part Basset Hound and maybe part Great Dane? I might be big, I have short legs and a long body, but that just means there is more of me to love. Hope you don't mind if I get on the couch or jump in bed with you. I get along with other dogs and kids but will chase kitty cats. I'll let you know when I have to go potty outside and I'm used to spending time in a crate when no one is home. I'll admit it...I've eaten a remote control or two. Please don't pass me by just because I grew up. Thanks to dog lovers Ed & Ellen G. of Hollywood they have generously sponsored my adoption fee.
