CHILE-I’VE BEEN ADOPTED!!!
Hello again!! I’m still here and I and all the other Houston Fluffs have weathered Hurricane Ike! We did great through the storm and were not too afraid thanks to all the attention from the Lone Star Volunteers!
I have been featured as the Fluff of the Week before, but I just wanted to tell you “I’M STILL HERE!!!” Please check me out! You can contact my foster mom at sherry352@sbcglobal.net, or you can also look at my write-up on my very own Petfinder page! I would love to find my lifetime home.
OK, what is a Tibetan dog doing with a South American name like Chile? I’m not really sure! I like my name, but more important than that, I think I am one lucky boy. Let me tell you a little bit of my history, and you will see why.
I am a 4-5 year old, 18 pound, beige Lhasa Apso who was rescued by the volunteers at Lone Star from one of the local animal shelters. I was there because of being labeled a “biter” and was scheduled to be put to sleep. My previous family took me there because they said that I had bitten one of the neighbors. Actually, my owner admitted that I was being provoked by that neighbor, but I still wound up at the animal shelter. I am so grateful for the folks at Lone Star that they found me there and rescued me. I am now alive and well and hopefully soon I will be able to be adopted by that special someone and find my forever home.
I am pretty much an easy-going, sweet, and loving guy. I still get a little frightened of strangers (maybe I’m just cautious) and I might “nip” a bit at their heels when I first meet them. I need to be introduced to new people carefully, but once I get to know you, I am very loving. I seem to prefer the company of men and I have a favorite volunteer at Lone Star named Harrison. I follow him everywhere and I trust him. He also gives me lots of pets!!
I like other dogs, but only if they are more gentle and quiet. If there are some younger more rambunctious dogs around me, I tend to remind them that they need to behave. I guess this means that I would do best in a home with either no dog or an older gentle dog. I also would prefer a family, preferably a couple or single man, with a quiet lifestyle. No children please as they might not understand my special needs.
I am getting better and better each day and I know that I can be that special dog in your life. I am very loving to humans I know and trust. Please help me learn to trust you. Maybe I could follow you around and be your “little buddy”. I promise to give you a lifetime of love in return.
I am altered, up-to-date on all my shots, and am heartworm negative.
