adoption application
Keanu,
our 2 year old 50 pound shepherd mix, is named after the nicest guy in
Hollywood. Why? Keanu is the nicest dog at Stumptown, of course. Does he
know Kung Fu? We don’t think so. We’ve never seen Keanu with a
surfboard nor have we seen him on a speeding bus. But, if you ask our
Keanu his motto, it’s “Be excellent to each other”. It’s time to find
this rad dog an equally bodacious home.
When
he was found stray, Keanu was very thin and had such a bad flea
infestation that his back was completely bald. Keanu had spent so much
time chewing on his fur that his teeth had worn to nubs. Despite this
history of neglect, Keanu had hearts-for-eyes for everyone he met.
He’s
been with us for several weeks and Keanu’s hair is growing back
beautifully. On a bland diet, his body finally started to gain weight.
Once he was healthy enough, Keanu had his dental procedure - he had to
lose quite a few teeth, but it’s honestly only made him cuter.
If
given the choice, our Keanu would never sit alone on a park bench.
Instead, he prefers to velcro to his favorite people. He’ll make eye
contact all day if he could. He’s sweet and, when he wants attention,
will kiss his person’s hand. Keanu is great with other dogs, both large
and small, and is respectful of cats.
Keanu
is crate and potty trained and very gentle. Where Keanu needs some help
is with anxiety while on leash and around doors. We aren’t sure why,
but Keanu gets a little frantic when a door is opened. He’s getting
better about walking on lead, but still doesn’t quite understand what
he’s supposed to be doing. To help Keanu with these anxieties, we’ve
started him on Prozac. We recommend he stay on this for several months
while he’s learning the ropes.
Keanu
is heartworm negative and current on his flea and heartworm
preventions. Due to his flea sensitivity, his adopter will need to keep
him up to date - we’ll send Keanu’s adopter with several months to
start. His adoption fee is $200.
