Napoleon's Story...
Napoleon is a very beautiful dog. Rescued from a high kill shelter in NYC. (twice!) He was placed in a home but it did work out as the new owners were too rough with him and he reacted and back he went to the shelter. He is a very sensitive and somewhat reserved kind of a guy. Napoleon will thrive with a very gentle and soft spoken owner (s) who will give him the time he needs to trust again. He is not really shy... just cautious. (really he is bit silly and has been known to play with other dogs, but at first he doesn't want anyone to know) He is fine with other dogs. With patience and time...someone will be greatly rewarded and pleasantly surprised Right now he is residing In Frederick PA
Update Napoleon is epileptic, but easily managed with phenobarbitol twice a day
It seems that thunderstorms, foreworks and gunsshots can trigger the seizures.
Now that he is on meds he actually seems more realxed and calmer than before and no seizures!
He is fine with other dogs, likes kids and cats too. He is a gentleman with a siily side, but don't expect to see that side right away (and don't let him know that you know)

We know this is not always possible, so we can help you re-home your dog. It would be ideal if the dog could remain in your home until a foster or placement is found, otherwise we require a financial contribution to cover boarding and medical costs.
We get to know our dogs very well and take great pride in matching the right dog with the right family. Fosters, volunteers, sponsors and contributions welcome Helps us help those who are really in need
