PRIMO's Story...
Hi! Thanks for giving me some attention! I'd like you to know that I've already been spayed or neutered. At Animal Friends, dogs and cats also leave fully up-to-date on shots and microchipped. All I need now is to find someone who will love me. Please ask to meet with an adoption counselor, so we can be properly introduced and talk about what kind of pet you're looking for. We can discuss whether you're looking for a lap pet or a social butterfly, an 'only pet' or a furry 'sibling' for kids or other animals. Best of all, by adopting from Animal Friends, you make it possible for them to rescue and care for another pet who truly needs help. So, what are you waiting for? Let's sit down together! *****************************************************

Primo has come a long way since he was rescued and bought to Animal Friends. Finally, he receives in the gentle, encouraging touch of our volunteersÂ…which is a far cry from life in the basement he was rescued from.

Right now the only thing that motivates this frightened dog is food. He loves his Kibble. But with some coaxing and training, youÂ’ll be rewarded for giving this little guy a new life. He deserves it after all heÂ’s been through.

We’d like to see him move into to a quiet, adult home with a “safe haven” (a crate) for when he gets frightened, which happens a lot. You’ll need to be patient during housetraining, and aware that he may have ongoing medical needs and may never play like other dogs.

You hear about people who buy homes that are considered “fixer-uppers.” This way the new owners have a creative project to pour their love and personality into. Well, Primo is a fixer upper, one with a sweet grin and cute little ears.

If you choose to adopt this special dog, you will watch him learn about living in a real home with a loving family.

Watch a video of Primo in his foster home!
