OWNER PROFILE:

Neptune is a 14 year old unaltered male small dog; he came to the family 12 years ago as a gift and is being surrender due to the owner moving. Neptune has no known health issues or injures and has no vet history.

Around strangers Neptune is shy and will snap sometimes.  He runs away from children and keeps away. Around other dogs he is relaxed and aloof, and has no bite history.  He isn’t bothered when someone touches his food bowl or gives him a bath. Neptune will bark when a stranger comes into the home.  He was described as shy, mellow, and aloof with a medium activity level.

He follows the family around the home and eats table food twice a day. He is house trained and uses wee -wee pads but has accidents around the home daily. He is well behaved when left alone and has never been crate trained and goes on slow walks on leash.
