My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Fiyero (pronounced "fee-arrow") is just under 5 years (born Oct 09, 2009), neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm negative, house trained, crate trained, and leash trained.

Fiyero, named after a prince from "Wicked," came from a pet store and belonged to a family where he was a pampered pup; he received good medical care, was socialized with people and other dogs at a boarding facility where he was a favorite client, and his human mom would feed him ice cream and peanut butter from a spoon. Fast forward a few years, and his human mom passed away. His human dad now found himself a single father with a daughter and a full time job. Fiyero, a reminder of his lost wife, became more than he could care for.

This sweet boy loves people and children, and is good with other dogs, but has been an only dog up until now. We are assessing his social skills, so we are not sure yet if he would do well in a home with a female dog, or if he would prefer to be an only dog again.
