I need a hero.

Shaq is a warm, noble older boy with a heart of gold.

But he began getting temperamental as he was losing his sight and hearing, making him a bit unpredictable for a time.

His adjustments are doing better now and he is less afraid of the changes happening to him.  He is mostly blind and deaf, but responds well to touch.  Staff, volunteers, volunteer trainers and veterinarians have all helped, and we feel he is now ready for adoption, provided that his progress can continue in his new home.

Shaq is a small, handsome Chow Chow, neutered, about 10 years of age.

He is compatible with most dogs and he is reportedly housetrained and fine with cats too.  Please plan on regular brushing and grooming.  An adult-only home is needed for him for the reasons stated above.

Please ask for Shaq by name when you visit.
