Pet Finder Pet of the Week - Baby




No one puts Baby in the corner! But they did put him in an animal shelter.

As you know once a week the PPP will put a spotlight on one dog from Petfinder.com who needs a home. I like to pick dogs that can really, really benefit from the love and care of a human and has been rescued. Once the PPP starts experiencing more abundance to help pay bills we will adopt so I can have a companion and perhaps be a mentor as I think I can be a good role model. Until then I hope if you are looking for a companion that will love you, be loyal to you and provide countless hours of entertainment you will look at our spotlights and consider adopting a pet from Petfinders.com. You have to admit that a pet will give you much more than you will get from the floozy you met at the bar last night, or the idiot that tried to feel you up at the movies.

Baby is a 3 year old neutered male Bichon Frise/Maltese mix dog. The pound which originally took him in thought he was a Shih Tzu and the vet thought he was a Lhasa. Whatever he is, he has had a troubled life. His initial behavior clearly showed he has an expectation that he will be kicked. He did not tolerate being crated for the trip to his foster home and bit. That said, he clearly wants to bond with people, and once he got to know his foster caretaker, he exhibited separation anxiety by whining when he was alone. He seems to have been housebroken and likes to fetch a plastic toy. If he is treated well, and in the hands of a very experienced dog owner, he can probably become a wonderful, devoted companion. However, because he sometimes "reverts" to his former expectation of how he will be treated, he is suitable only for an adult home, with no children. Baby has been completely shaved down, due to severe matting of his coat. He thanks the New York School of Dog Grooming in Manhattan and recommends them for any dogs needing to be groomed. He apparently was a very good boy there and the students were able to work on him without problems. Baby is seen in the second photo with his favorite well chewed toy, which he likes to fetch.

Wow! Look at those pictures of Baby! He is sooo cute! He reminds me a little of me (especially after the shave down). So please consider bringing Baby into your home or if you know someone who is looking for a pet that just wants to love them please let them know about Baby.

On a sad note, there was a protest today in Central Park on 90th and Central Park West. People were protesting against Andrew Baker, CEO Huntingdon Life Sciences. His lab still kills multitudes of dogs and rabbits for testing their product. I can't believe this still happens in the United States. I hope Obama is against this! The group who organized this protest is W.A.R. (Win Animal Rights) and for any information on how you can help W.A.R. in their protests and causes please look at their website: http://www.war-online.org/index.html. Hopefully we can use the help of W.A.R. to bring upon change in Central Park for better signage so dogs aren't killed by bicyclists and roller-bladers like our dear Q-Ball.

Chow for now!
