Story
To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see HERE Age: 1 year (as of 4/11/24) Weight: 55 pounds (as of 4/11/24) Location: RI This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Comet is a young sable and tan Shar Pei and Aussie Doodle mix. When he was first rescued, we had no information about him, but a news story broke a few days later stating that a local woman had posted on social media that he was "free to a good home," because despite being housebroken and good with children and dogs, he was "too active" for a new infant in the house. The very next day, he was found abandoned at a local gas station. Two days later, he came down with parvo, although luckily, he is just fine now. After such a tough beginning, we are hoping that Comet finds an absolutely wonderful and safe adoptive home. His foster mom reports that he is a very playful puppy, who sometimes comes on strong and needs a little time to simmer down. Occasionally, he is so playful that he can be overbearing around younger children. In his original home, he was an inside pet and did very well. When he has encountered cats, he tends to be fixated and is not likely to be a good fit for a home with cats or small animals. Comet is housebroken and comfortable in his kennel or crate. He has had no accidents. For the most part, he walks calmly on a loose leash. He likes to jump on people and furniture, but that is not surprising for such a young dog. We always recommend obedience training for all of our dogs, especially puppies. It is a chance for you both to learn commands together, and the dog gains confidence and self-control along the way. It's also fun! Comet truly deserves a happy and loving adoptive home, where he can blossom into the wonderful and fun adult dog he is going to be. All of us are rooting for him! Medical Note: Comet is a parvo survivor, but he has fully recovered after treatment. He has had no further symptoms, and we are very relieved that he is okay now. Please check with your vet if you should have any questions about this condition and discuss any concerns you may have with your SOS Adoption Counselor. An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.
