Pretzel -ADOPTED!!!

Meet Pretzel, a darling senior citizen who came to NMDR from the Albuquerque City Shelter as an owner surrender. He lost his home because of a death in the family and the remaining owner now having cancer, and could no longer care for Pretzel and his fellow canine companion. Pretzel is considered a standard and weighed 26 lbs. when he first arrived to us. However, after 11/2 weeks, his foster mom is starting to notice a “waist line” in his build, due to a controlled amount of food and the fact he is getting exercise in the out of doors. It should be noted that Pretzel dearly loves the idea of food, is always ready to imbibe, wants to help his foster mom with her meals, but does eat like a gentleman. No grabbing of his snack and he slowly enjoys eating his meals. He is considered to be 10 years old. Please note that as a senior, he does have whiteness on his front feet and under his chin, otherwise he looks younger than his years. He is a wonderfully affectionate guy, loves to give kisses, likes to put his front paws up onto your lap and start the smooching process. He is completely housebroken, and he sleeps each night in his doggie bed or in a chair beside his “mom”. And patiently waits until everyone in the household is stirring before he gets up. He hasn’t wanted to use the doggie door as yet, and it appears he is not too fond of grass — for some reason he is content to wander around on the big patio provided to him. He is such a mellow guy, gets along beautifully with the other dogs in his foster home, he has been neutered, all shots were given, a dental was given, and he is heartworm free. He is also microchipped. And he is a tail wagger! If you would like a loving and quiet senior companion to accompany your day, this is the dog for you. Come meet him at our upcoming adoption event on June 6 at the Petco on San Mateo. Pretzel will be there to greet you. He is being fostered in Albuquerque and his fee would be $200.
