Adopted February 2008

Pounce was left at the local shelter with a note that they didn't have enough time for him anymore. Pounce is almost 11 years old and is a sweet fellow. He is neutered, weighs 22 pounds, is up to date on all vax, HW negative and on HW preventative. Pounce may have a little arthritis, he will be assessed while in foster care.

UPDATE: His foster says: Pounce is a love sponge. He loves to be with humans, comes when you speak his name, and snuggles every chance he gets. Pounce finds a nice quiet spot and settles in. He's taken over one of my WallyBeds, and the resident Shelties haven't challenged him for it. I think he would prefer a nice quiet home. He's not a talker and just ignores my loud rambunctious pack when they get started on one of their many barkfests. I haven't noticed any problem with movement. He goes up and down steps easily and runs in the yard at will. We're working on his hair coat. He has allowed me to brush through his tangles for short periods, but when he becomes uncomfortable with it, we stop. His coat appears to have been neglected so it's probably new to him to have someone brush him. But, he's learning quickly that it's not all bad. An added bonus, he's completely housebroken.
