Turns out that Colt is hypothyroid, and needed to be on thyroid medication. Colt's thyroid medication is given daily, and is not expensive. Once his thyroid levels are normal, hopefully he will lose the excess weight easily. Colt is neutered, and has been brought current on all of his shot. He has also been started on regular heartworm preventative.
Colt does well with other dogs, and so far so good with cats.
Colt mostly just wants to be where people are, and is not a high energy dog. Colt is physically strong, but does walk fairly well on a leash, and he understands the sit command. We're working on crate training Colt, and he's been fairly resistant, but he does better with each passing day. Colt would do well in almost any home with children over 8 due to his size. Inc.
