You want to know a little about me? Well I was really scared before I came to HGDR. Running through the streets, alone, hungry, and then having a dog attack me. Some people found me and took me to a place with lots of dogs that were barking and barking. All I wanted was to be rubbed on the head and loved. Don't I deserve that? Apparently the nice people at HGDR think I do! They picked me up and took me to this nice lady's house were I am being well taken care of. I had to go visit this place with more dogs but this time I didn't have to stay. My foster mom told me it would be ok, that we were just going to see the doggie doctor. The doggie doctor didn't look too happy when he saw me. He told my foster mom that I only weighed 97 pounds and needed to gain over 40 pounds. They did a test to see if I had worms in my heart and whew...thankfully I don't. It must feel weird to have worms in your heart! I am an easy going guy and like everyone and everything. Well, I haven't met anything so far that I don't like. Kids, check! Dogs, check! Cats, check! Big or small, I like them all.

I am a submissive boy and don't like to start any trouble. I have a bossy boxer girl that I share my house with. There is also another boy boxer and a girl bulldog puppy. They're fun to play with! Can't forget the two skin kids that live here. The little one likes to dress me up and we play Batman and Robin! Do you like to give head rubs because my foster daddy gives em' to me all the time. He says I demand them if I want a rub. Listen up dogs! All you have to do is pop the arm up and it lands on your head. Come on dogs, I'm only 18 months old and I already know this...

Did I mention that I am house trained and will tell you when I need to go. Yep, I'm a biggie boy! Crate, no problem! You tell me and I go in...I don't know what the big fuss it about?! They're going to let you out again, duh! I sit when told and I "go lay down" when told. I do have a little gas problem right now (mom says I need some bean-o) but hey...I'm a man after all!

My foster mom told me to tell you I pee all over the floor and that I'll chew your couch up just so she can hold onto me a little longer....so don't tell her that I told you all about me! It can be our secret...

Love, Reno Bean-o

NOTE: Reno is a very obedient Dane and only wants to please. He is excellent on his daily walks and does not pull. Reno has apparently never played with toys before like a well loved dog should. He is learning to play and is steadily coming out of his shell. Although he is very underweight he shows no signs of food aggression and will eat out of a three-year-olds hand. Besides the occasional zoomie, he is very laid back. Reno is a real wussie boy and will back down from any other dog.
