Duke is a chatterbox so no condo living for this guy, unless you've got neighbours on all sides who like the sounds of out of tune violins being played by tone deaf three year olds on sugar pills. Okay, he's not that bad but he does like to bay when he converses and he seems to have a lot to say, at least at the shelter.
I suspect part of it is that he's missing his owner and he's not getting enough attention at TAS. At one point, we were stopped on our walk by three young women who were on their way to the Drake concert. They wanted to know if they could say hello to Duke and in response, Duke pulled himself over to them and plopped himself down in their midst. As they cooed and ran their hands over him, he was completely quiet and he gave me this look and I swear he was thinking, "Sucks to be you."
The best way to check on the adoption status of this dog (and other dogs and cats and other small domestic animals) is to visit Toronto Animal Services adoption website or call 416 338 6668 for the Toronto Animal Services South shelter. If the dog is no longer on the TAS adoption website, it's probably because it's been adopted already.
He would fit in well with our family - all of our fur babies are chatter boxes! lol
ReplyDeleteHope he finds the perfect-for-him home soon!
My Dukey is on the internet!!!! I was just looking at pics of bassett hounds on google, and there was MY dog! I adopted Duke at the end of August/2012. With a lot of hard work and determination, he has become a confident and very well mannered little man. The best thing I ever did was bring him home. He's my bestest friend ever. I wouldn't trade him for the world. Thanks Animal Services !!!!!
