06/23/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Priceless gifts don’t always come in a fancy wrapper and neither does Rory but for those with eyes to see, his inner beauty shines bright as the sun. We do know that he lived with children and while he supposedly played a little rough sometimes, he loved his family and was relaxed and joyful around them and any other dogs he met. In the Care Center environment Rory is a little shy at first but once you have his trust there is no one gentler or more affectionate than he and his love comes with an unconditional guarantee. Rory’s slowly adjusting to life without his family and he’s happy to show off his wonderful manners whenever I come to take him out. He gently mouths treats from my fingers, walks fairly well on leash, takes care of his ‘business’ quickly and always responds immediately to my voice. He likes to be held, pet and snuggled and gives the most wonderful face snuffles and neck nuzzles in return but it’s not until another dog enters the yard that his tail goes up and the fun-loving puppy within comes out to play. As the low-key Bulldog on the other side of the fence watches with bemused good humor, Rory wiggles and waggles, jumps and shimmies and it’s clear that once safe and secure in a new home — especially one with some canine siblings — he will be a very happy pup indeed. I’m sooo in love with this gorgeous mushball and once you meet him you will be too. Don’t miss out on the chance to take home your very own ‘Paper Bag Prince’, make a date with Rory today.
