Check photo on our Furry Friends page. This sweet, old guy showed up at the end of August, freshly bathed, without a collar. He appears to be well taken care of (although quite thin) and I imagine and hope that he's got a family looking for him. I'm guessing he's 8-10 years old and about 45-50 pounds. He is SUPER SWEET and cuddly, seems like he's always been allowed on the furniture- he's been spooning with us in bed! He gets along really well with other dogs, but doesn't really pay much attention to them- he seems to be much more of a people-dog than a dog-dog.
He's very low maintenance and sleeps most of the time, but seems quite healthy and he does definitely like to get out and run around and go on adventures. Perfectly behaved and potty trained in the house, and hasn't caused any problems when we left him home alone for a couple hours. Pretty good on leash.
I'm hoping to find his family if he's got someone looking for him, but I'll be heading to the states on September 23rd- so, if I don't find them by then, he'll be needing a new, loving home, or at least someone who'd be willing to foster him until I return at the end of October. I'm sad to say I won't be offering him a permanent home, as much as I'd LOVE to, and I'll be really sad to see him go... Whoever ends up with him is in for a sweet treat.
I'm in the San Juan De Dios Valley, about 15 mins up into the hills from Platanillo and I'm happy to chat with or bring him to anyone that might like to meet him.
I can be reached by email, or by phone/whatsapp at 8727 3215- feel free to share that info. Lindsay lindsayst.antoine@gmail.com
