A volunteer writes: I cannot stop thinking about Fondue! And I don’t mean the pot of melted cheese dip. I mean Fondue the dog, who has completely melted my heart. This boy is a very special little gentle soul. He was actually trembling a little in his cage when I first approached him to take him for a walk. He seemed like he wanted companionship, but he just needed to build up the courage to get close enough to get the leash on. It didn’t take long, and once outside on our walk I found I was right–he did want affection! I usually win dogs over with whatever greasy processed meat I have in my pocket that day, but Fondue didn’t want any of it. He just wanted attention and petting. His tail was tucked a little low from all the construction noises going on in the neighborhood, but it was still going a million miles an hour as he cuddled into me. I passed Fondue’s cage about a dozen more times after our walk and each time his tail went crazy with happiness and he even gave my hand a few licks. What a change in such a short time! If you are a gentle soul with a little patience, you and Fondue just might be kindred spirits. And he will no doubt shower you with more love than you know what to do with.

A staff member writes: When I first laid my eyes on Fondue, I immediately saw how handsome and how friendly he was. He is the center of attention when he gets around a crowd of people, from his sweet face to his wiggling body and tail.. When I stand in front of him, he immediately stretchs out to get a hug and a rub. He loves to play and run around and he is very sweet and I look forward to seeing him find his forever home because he deserves that chance!! Fondue is a MUST SEE! Come ask about Fondue’s Handsome self at BACC.
