So, I've been volunteering for a BT rescue called
Friends Of Homeless Animals, Inc. (
http://members.petfinder.com/~RI76/index.html) for the past 3 years and have been fostering for about a year. Our latest foster is Fruit Loops, and this is what we can tell you about him,
Fruit Loops is:
- 5 years old
- Purebred Boston Terrier
- 22 lbs, on the skinny side
- Missing his right eye
- Neutered, fully vetted and up-to-date on his shots
- Housebroken
- Crate trained
- Good with some dogs
- VERY friendly and affectionate with people
Fruit Loops was a stray in Greenville TX where he was picked up by Animal Control and brought to a local shelter where one of our amazing volunteers rescued him and he was brought to foster care in Maine. At some point he has damaged his right eye, and he has since had surgery and had the eye cleaned and removed and closed up, but it doesn't seem to bother Fruit Loops one bit!
Fruity, as we've been calling him, is a very friendly, affectionate, goofy and outgoing little guy who thrives on attention and snuggles! He knows no strangers and loves to go for walks, play with pretty much any toy, snuggle on the couch and give kisses! He lets me bathe him, clip his nails, clean his ears, clean his teeth, etc. He even fell asleep while I was taking out his stitches!
He is a quiet dog who doen't bark without reason, but will "talk" to you when you toss his toys for him.
He does
not, on the other hand, get along with other male dogs. He has shown aggression with other males and we don't feel comfortable placing in a home with other male dogs. He's ok with our male, who is submissive, but we never leave them alone together. He has no issues with our two females.
Fruity would be happiest as an only dog, or with the right female dog. For any potential adopter that already have a female dog, we would require a meeting between the dogs prior to adoption. We just want to ensure the safety and happiness for all dogs involved.
We are developing a behavior management plan for Fruity to help him slowly learn to be relaxed around other males. We would be happy to help any potential adopters to continue this plan.
He is also learning basic obedience and is doing very well! He is very attentive and food motivated so he is learning fast...
All around he is an awesome little dog and we adore him! He will make someone an amazing friend and we'll be sad to see him go...
