Come meet Jamie!
I was dogless for about 6 months. I finally decided to get a new dog and have been looking for the past couple of months at my local shelter. I didn't have much luck. Most local dogs are large or are Chihuahua mixes. I was looking for a Terrier mix.
I went to the Bay Area in CA to visit a friend for Christmas. So, I looked online at the local animal shelter in Martinez, CA to see what small dogs they had. So, on Dec 24, at 3:30PM I called the Martinez animal shelter to see if he was still available. He was! So, I said I would be there first thing the day after Christmas. I was there at 10:00am when they opened, but Jamie wasn't there. That same morning, they moved him to the Nevada Humane Society in Reno, NV. That was on Thursday. On Friday I drove to Reno to get my new dog. It was a big hassle, but it was worth it. Jamie is a good dog. He is a Manchester Terrier. He looks like a Mini Pin, but is a bit taller and thinner.
He was neutered in Martinez so I had to get him a plastic dog collar so he wouldn't chew his stitches. He was a trooper about wearing it. It's off now and he is not licking. He also had a dog bite on the top of his head. It is healing now and he is going to be fine. He likes to go in the car, so I know one day he will be fine in a RV if and when I ever get one! LOL
Jamie looks like a winner to me! :)
ReplyDeleteNow that's dedication. Good for you for going after your new friend. My daughter had a min-pin growing up and he was a real character. I'm sure you will have many happy days with your new friend - he's adorable.
