I have a neighbor here in Renton who has been fostering her niece’s dog for several months. The niece had a stroke and now requires 24/7 assistance at home, of which my friend is helping supply multiple hours a day. Obviously a dog can no longer be a long term family member for her since short term memory is an issue and because care is needed for the former owner. I can completely relate after having watched the difference in my dad after his accident and my heart goes out to them. Hopefully someone will read this and be willing to consider taking him in for a forever home.
Here are some stats on the dog:
Name: Wilson C Hawks….. I’m serious, that’s his name. Yes, the owner is a HUGE Seahawks fan!
Age 3 – Corgi/Dachshund mix
Weight 28 lbs
Trained = yes (some) I assume this also includes trained to potty outside
Up to date shots = she thinks so.. but could have boosters again because of his age.
He shakes hands
Sits up
Will sit and stare at a treat until you say he can have it.
Loves to play tug of war.
Goes to get his toy if you tell him to.
Thinks he’s a lap dog and is VERY affectionate.
He is energetic and needs playtime and exercise – seems to do very well with children but not sure about additional animals.
Could use some help on training away outside barking but overall a sweetie.
If you think you could be his forever home buddy, please contact me via email: Reba (at) Team Reba (dot) com.
