Story
Boober is a sweet thirteen-year-old Shih Tzu, weighing in at almost 13 pounds. This little friend deserves a quiet, loving, home that can provide care and comfort. Boober will certainly return the favor. Medical/behavioral needs: We’re looking for a good family to foster-to-adopt Boober on his road to recovery. Due to past neglect, Boober has medical issues being actively resolved. We are addressing ear infections that will require vet visits. Boober also has a condition known as Dry Eye, common to the Shih Tzu breed. His eyes will require daily wetting drops for the remainder of his life. During the foster-to-adopt process, Indigo’s Rescue Ranch will pay for his medical care. When these issues are resolved, his foster family or person can decide if they would like to move ahead with adopting him into his forever home! Good with dogs? Boober seems very interested in other dogs. He may enjoy the company of another gentle canine friend. Good with cats? He currently is living with cats who are pretty sassy and he pushes them around demanding their cat food which he really enjoys. As long as your cats wouldn’t eat him for that, he’s fine with cats. Good with kids? We don’t know much about Boober with children but we think he would be okay with older kids who understand that small senior dogs enjoy gentle interaction. Soft petting, soft words, and soft treats are always nice to get from new friends! Energy level: Boober is very easy going and likes to take a lot of naps. He enjoys short, leisurely strolls. Playtime for Boober might include a nice belly rub from his human and soft treats! Is he house trained? While he’s not perfect, he’s very adaptable. He has never lived in a home where someone paid much attention to him. He is definitely teachable and could be confined to a smaller space in the house until he is better trained. Animal Characteristics: Boober is a messy eater! We haven’t found a kibble that is his favorite yet. As we mentioned, he seems to like the cat food better but a little experimentation will discover his dream dish!

Story
Is your dog looking to adopt a dog for companionship? Rob would love to be your dog's best buddy. He would love them and squeeze them and snuggle them and spend every moment of the day with them and the best part is that he would not bother you at all. It would be like you still only had one dog! Rob is the absolute perfect gift for the dog in your life that desperately needs a friend. Since we know your dog isn't made of money, we'd be happy to trade for a couple of good chew bones, or a nice 40lb bag of good quality dog food, or even a nice bolster pet bed. You can let your dog know that we are open for negotiations. In case you didn't get the inference, Rob does not care for humans. He will hang out in the same room with you and will even sleep in your bed if you allow him too. What he won't do is snuggle with you, let you pet him or get leashed up easily. He is 100% a dog's dog and is perfectly happy with his doggie besties. However, HE DOES NOT PLAY. He just likes to cuddle with his dog buddies. Rob is not completely housebroken but will accompany his doggie friends out to do his business. In all honesty, his only redeeming characteristic is how cute he is. He has been in his current foster home for nearly two years and still barks at his foster mom as if he has never met her before in his life.  Rob will need someone willing to foster to adopt to make sure his adopter can handle his idiocinracies so anyone looking to adopt him needs to be within a 2-hour drive of Cloverdale indiana. Rob cannot easily be leashed, so a home with a fenced in yard would be best. Rob needs an adopter that is up to the challenge of having a dog that may not ever like you. Are you the needle in the haystack we are looking for? Side Note: Rob has been in a foster to adopt home for nearly 2 months and did fairly well but the other dog in the home ultimately has decided they cannot be friends. If you'd like to find out more about Rob on your dog's behalf, give us a call at (317) 899-8483 ##1494427##
