06/04/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: A case for Ancestry.com???? Those little Sharpei ears are unmistakable, his serious face a bit wrinkly, and he can be a bit aloof as the breed sometimes can be, but give him a chance to roll in for snuggles and steal a kiss and he’s right there! As I pass his kennel he paws at his door letting me know he would so appreciate a chance to go out and go potty so responding to his plea we did just that! He’s serious, easy, quiet, calm, wagged really hard at a little dog in his kennel as we passed by, jumped up on the bench to give me a kiss, and ignored my offer of treats and toys. Ferdinand (such a perfect name for this dignified gent!) has clearly been well taken care of before joining us and is looking for a new person or family to love. In playgroup he greets others politely and when not engaged prefers to roam the pen. I can relate to Ferdinand’s need to warm up to people and other dogs before revealing himself, and his new home should give him the space and time he needs to do just that. He warmed up to me quickly with hugs and kisses, so I’m pretty confident he’ll reveal himself in a very short time. The name Ferdinand means “peaceful journey”, and that’s exactly what our slightly shy Sharpei mix boy is ready for….a peaceful journey into his new home.
