Cagney has been adopted into a wonderful family!
Original:
Cagney and Lacey were turned into a shelter because their owners could no longer care for them. Cagney tests positive for Lyme Disease right now, but has no symptoms. The treating vet thinks it is a false postiive from a previous vaccine and does not recommend treatment at this time.
Cagney is such a sweetheart. He rode the whole way home on foster mom’s lap. Cagney had been used to being an outside dog for the past year. His foster home is working on bathroom habits as he has marked inside. He is very quick to be reminded of his error and very ashamed. He now will run to the door to take care of life’s necessities outdoors. Cagney is eager to please and comes quickly when called by name or whistle.
Cagney soon made friends with his foster ESS brother and won him over! They love to run to the bottom of the yard and chase the squirrels!
Cagney is very playful and friendly. He does like to jump but is very gentle. He will immediately sit and/or roll over for attention. He does not jump on the foster home’s youngest boy of 5. Cagney has not been exposed to cats.
Cagney follows foster mom around the house – always eager for a belly rub and pets. He will often lie at her feet by the computer or living room chair. Cagney will not jump up on furniture unless invited. He has very keen hearing, he will alert you to anyone near the house for a visit. He is much more dignified than his foster brother and so far will not jump the baby gate to greet visitors at the door.
He will wake you up with a wet nose just after 6 am. This pooch does not like to sleep in. Cagney will jump up on the bed for a cuddle before bedtime and upon waking up, though he does sleep on the floor or in his basket. He is happy to go outside early morning and then comes back in just as eager for a biscuit with his foster brother! Cagney takes treats very gently and is a good boy who knows how to sit for both treats and dinner.
Cagney is just looking for love and attention. Can you give him your heart and home?
