Meet Pineapple.
He’s a big Mioritic shepherd kind cross, he’s 6 years previous. He’s fostered in South Shields Tyne and Put on
If you happen to observe our web page, you will note the love now we have for the long run canine of Botosani. Pineapple is one other a kind of particular canine.
He was at all times within the background of our journeys, together with his loopy fur and lengthy sticky up dreadlocks, which earned him his identify.
He went to the shelter as a shy pup, and as so many sadly do, he bought extra shy because the years went on, 6 years later he was deemed simply one other untouchable canine. We determined to at the very least try to present him a hair lower, to get that heavy, soiled hair out of his eyes, so he might at the very least see, and what we discovered beneath was a delicate, candy, submissive boy.
After his pen mate left, he was positioned with a really dominant canine who wouldn’t let him eat, he was heartbreakingly emaciated and the choice was made to get him out urgently.
He’s in our care now, and he’s nonetheless shy however gaining confidence every day, his cheeky, humorous nature is rising. He nonetheless shys away from fuss, however relaxs into it shortly when it’s given and at all times seems to be to me for consolation when he’s apprehensive.
He walks gently on the lead, he loves nothing greater than a gradual sniffy stroll, he’s bought 6 years of sniffs to make up for and he’s profiting from it!
It’s been a pleasure to look at him rediscovered life, he’s a giant gangly clutz who remains to be studying, he loves doggy firm and he will be fairly playful with the opposite canine.
He’s very calm in the home, he loves a giant cozy mattress and that’s the place I’ll discover him 90% of the time.
He was undoubtedly absent the day God was handing brains out, however he’s extremely candy and humorous and deserves an incredible residence.
He doesn’t moult, so will want common grooming and eye trims, he must dwell with one other canine and he hasn’t been cat examined.
