09/02/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Gorgeous in his lush coat, wagging tail and great big smile, Bammy (my nickname for him), was thrilled to be chosen next for a walk. Showing off his housetraining skills the moment we were out the door, he then showed off his nice leash manners. He’s a bit too thin in my opinion, but his coat is lush and clean and a gorgeous soft tan/gold color. His cute face speaks to a touch of Sharpei in his lineage, and he doesn’t really care what you call him, as long as you do! Surrendered with a host of other large dogs, we’re told that he plays well with dogs of both genders, and will go out of his way to get to a female. He’s lived with a young child and is relaxed and playful with her, loves to play chase, is well behaved when left home alone, loves greenies and to chew on big bones, can jump high fences, and knows ‘sit’ and ‘lay down’. We’re also told that he needs to go out to go potty before eating, and needs to drink water before eating. Clearly a much loved companion, Bam Bam was well taken care of and we have a lot of good information for his next family. Bammy was happy draping himself in my lap and giving me kisses, scooting over to the fence to greet a new dog coming into the yard. He takes treats gently, has a nice soft energy about him, and is looking for a new home which might include some doggie siblings. He’s hoping you’ll stop by to meet him today.
