Good in a home with
He was met May 21st by his new family - he loved them and their dogs. This prince finally gets to live in the manner he should have been living all along. He went into his home on May 24th with Shannon of On Golden Paws.
Whoever abandoned this dog should truly be ashamed of themselves!
He was found Sunday April 13th on Bruce road 6 from Holyrood 3 km towards Teeswater.
This absolute gentleman was picked up by Ripley animal control on Monday April 14th. He was due to be euthanized on Friday April 18th but thankfully they saved him a few extra days and called us Tuesday April 21st.
He was originally dubbed "Chance", as it is sheer chance he was spared. This darling loves everyone - he really brightens up around men, but is a sweetheart to women and children too, he met a baby and a young child and was good with both of them. He is fine with cats and loved walking around with dogs of all sizes and ages on the day we got him out of the pound, April 26th.
This dog did not deserve to be treated like garbage dumped by a litterbug.
He deserved his forever home and sadly he only had it for 8 months. There was no more deserving dog.
He loves human attention, is great with cats and other dogs, is good in the car, and is housetrained.
He loves to play ball. He is as quiet as a mouse when he plays in the dog run in his doghouse.
He went into foster care on May 2nd in Brussels - here is the foster mom's update "Cuddled on the couch with my nieces aged 8 and 11 and watched High School Musical 2 Saturday afternoon. Soon as he seen Chloe's ball that is all he wants to do is play ball. Someone must have played alot of ball with him. He takes it to bed with him too. Hopefully nobody tells him that he is old... because he doesn't know he is. He is finally getting his appetite back and wanting to eat. Not much eating done fri nite, sat, or sunday. Last nite he finally mowed down. had a good breakfast this morning also. He has not messed in the house since when he walked in on Friday night. I slept downstairs with him fri and sat nite. He slept beside me the whole time. Last nite was his first nite to sleep downstairs alone. No issues or messes. Has not chewed on a single thing"
If you are thinking he sounds like a match for you - then please consider that he would probably do best in a home without stairs. We will monitor his progress and if he does not improve from a warm home and good food then he will be x-rayed to be checked for injury.

For his mature adult age - he has the typical whitened face with a beautiful dark red coat, he appears to be blind in the right eye, his hips appear very stiff at times, but on intake date once he had settled with us for an hour and a half - he rolled over on his back for a belly rub. He needs help getting into the back of the van.
He has a thinned back end, which could be from starvation or simply old age. He also has a broken bottom right molar and a broken lower front middle tooth.
Since when he was found he has been vaccinated and dewormed and we had him neutered and finally got him into out care April 26th.
please feel free to submit a dog adoption application now - as it is required to be considered for him - it can be completed on the adoption page of www.adoptapet.lucknow.on.ca
