Adopter Ace
Ukendt · Lam · 18 måneder
Ace er kommet til os fra et svært baggrund, da vi ikke kunne fastslå hans alder eller medicinske historik, da det ikke virkede at korrelere med, hvad vi havde fået at vide. Vi blev oprindeligt fortalt, at han kun var 6 måneder gammel, men da han kom, var det tydeligt, at han var meget ældre. Han mangler 2 tæer fra sin venstre forfod, som vi ikke havde været informerede om, og ved at spørge opdagede vi, at vi har haft vanskeligheder med at finde noget veterinærhistorik for amputeringen. Apparent mærkede han dem til benet under en tur i december, og de havde at blive amputeret. Han var meget undervægtig og har udskilt mange hundeorme siden han kom, og han har taget en god mængde vægt efter at have 3 måltider om dagen. Han har været lidt "bidende" med kæledyrsmedarbejderne, men efter at være blevet holdt i vores isoleringskælder i nogle uger, synes han at være roet ned og glade med sin rutine nu. Han elsker at løbe rundt i vores fritidsområde med en bold i munden, og laver lyd af den, men det er ikke "hent" fordi han har ingen tilbagekomst - jeg arbejder på det, med gavegaver, men han kan være meget stivbundet. Han er nu vaccineret og kastreret, men han var ikke glad for nåle hos dyrlægen og havde rigtig meget brug for en mundstykke og anbefaler, at han bærer en med fremtidige dyrlægebesøg. Han er ca. 27 tommer til skulderen og vejer ca. 28 kg. Han foretrækker kvinder frem for mænd. Jeg ville ikke sige, at han er hundvenlig, men han vil tolerere dem på afstand, medmindre de er i hans ansigt, så på ture ville jeg anbefale, at han bærer en mundstykke i tilfælde af genvej aggresion. Han har været på et halsbånd og en snor på halsen for bedre kontrol her. På grund af de manglende tæer på fod og derefter justering af, hvordan han bærer vægt på den fod, tror jeg ikke, at han klare lang gang på hårde overflader, men han er virkelig glad for korte løb i et sikret sted med en blød overflade. Han kan udvikle artritis i knoerne på sin venstre ben, når han bliver ældre pga. belastningen. Han er IKKE katvenlig og vil ikke placeres i et hjem med børn. Jeg blev sagt, at han havde et madbeskyttelsesproblem, men jeg har ikke set nogen tegn på det her - men det er bedst at være opmærksom, hvis det er. Jeg kan ikke sige, om han er husetrænet, da han kun har været i kælderen her. Ace er nu hos os ved LL HQ i West Yorkshire.

Ace has come to us from a difficult background as we were unable to establish his age or medical history as it didn't seem to correlate with what we'd been told. We'd been told originally he was only 6 months old, but when he arrived it was obvious he was much older. He is missing 2 toes from his left front foot that we'd not been informed about, and upon enquiring, we've struggled to find any vet history for the amputation. Apparently he cut them to the bone on a walk in December and they had to be amputated. He was very underweight and has passed an awful lot of worms since he arrived and has put on a decent amount of weight after having 3 meals a day. He had been quite "nippy" with the kennels staff, but after being kept in our isolation kennel for some weeks, he seems to have calmed down and is happy with his routine now. He enjoys running around in our paddock with a ball in his mouth, squeaking it, but it's not "fetch" as he has no recall - I'm working on it, with bribery but he can be very stubborn. He has now been vaccinated and neutered, but wasn't happy about needles at the vets and very much needed a muzzle and would advise he wears one with any future vet trips. He's around 27 ins to the shoulder and weighs around 28 kg. He seems to prefer women to men. I wouldn't say he's dog friendly but he'll tolerate them at a distance unless they're in his face, so on walks I would recommend he's muzzled in case of redirected aggression. He's walked on a harness and a lead on his collar for better control here. Because of the missing toes on his foot and subsequent adjustment of how he bears weight on that foot, I don't think he'll cope with long walks on hard surfaces, but he's really happy having short run arounds in a secure place with a soft surface. He may develop arthritis in the joints of his left leg as he gets older because of the strain. He's NOT cat friendly and I wouldn't place him in a home with children. I was told he had a food guarding issue, but I've not seen any sign of it here - but it's best to be aware if it. I can't say if he's house trained as he's only been kennelled here. Ace is now with us at LL HQ in West Yorkshire. To find out more about him or to offer him a home, please fill in our pre-adoption questionnaire :
