Adopter Sitka

Kryssbrett · Hann · Voksen · 7 år

Sitka was found alone in a plot of land when he was 2 months old, without any other siblings or a mother. He has one of the saddest stories of the dogs that are in the shelter - he has been in the shelter all his life..... When he arrived as a puppy, he got sick with parvovirus, and while most puppies recover from the virus without any complications, Sitka developed rhinitis, that closed his nasal access, so he required a surgery. After the surgery, sweet Sitka has been living a "normal" life, he just sometimes makes slurping sounds with his mouth and his tongue can show longer than what you might be used to! Sitka's blood test results are excellent, he is healthy and negative on all the tested Mediterranean diseases - he is a fit chunky boy! Sitka is truly a lapdog, he was one already as a puppy and he continues his love for sitting on people’s laps. We have occasional massage sessions available for senior citizens of the shelter, and Sitka enjoys his massage while sitting on the therapist lap. A cuddly boy Sitka is, every chance he gets, a lap he conquests. Even though he has spent all of his life in the shelter, and has not been out in the “real world” much, he behaves so well on his days out. He is fine travelling in the car and going to adventures with you, and loves to sniff around the bushes, making his truffle pig sounds. He walks well on the leash also in a town and passes cars, buses, people very politely. Just seeing a child play football got him excited and squeeking. Sitka would also love to accompany you to a quiet cafe and stare in your mouth until you give him your breakfast, which he then gently takes from your hand. Sitka is looking for his humans, who will give him time and space to get used to a life in the human world, slowly and calmly. The shelter team has already started with the process by taking him out to the forest, town, cafeteria, home visits - but he needs a real home. A peaceful home without other dogs or children, in a quiet neighborhood, would be ideal for him. When he sees exciting things, he gets exited as well and makes a squeeking sound, so for everyone’s peace of mind, an environment with less exiting things would be lovely for Sitka! Near the nature, in a small town, a village, or the suburbs. His kind and quirky presence brings joy to his humans, and he is so pleasant to be around. Even though he is quite a chunky boy, he is not overwhelming at all, and is easy to handle. Since Sitka has always lived behind metal bars, without the warmth of a home, we are looking for a kind, quiet, balanced home for him, to spend the rest of his years in peace. A home with simple routines, patience and kindness. A soft sofa, perhaps a fluffy carpet, evenings together in front of the TV and days together taking walks in the nature, this is what Sitka is dreaming of. And of course, chicken nuggets. His shoulder height is approximately 56cm.
