Hello, my name is Chosin. At least that’s what they call me here at
the rescue. I have had several
names in my life, as well as several
human families who SAID they would take care of me, but then tossed me
aside when
it got inconvenient. I think the most popular excuse so far has
been “we’re moving”, which REALLY
gets the people at the rescue
riled up…people move all the TIME with their dogs and find places to
live…when
someone uses the “we’re moving” excuse, that really
means “we are irresponsible and lazy and too
self-centered to think
about the only member of the family who is truly capable of unconditional
love”.
Or so I have heard the humans at the rescue say anyway. I
mean if *I* had to move, I would certainly take *YOU* along,
so I really
do not understand this concept. Maybe that’s just a
dog-thing…loyalty is automatic, like breathing.
I’m sorry to hear that it is not
this way with humans.
Like a lot of my friends here at the rescue, the humans
thought I would
find a home FAST. I am very unique…big (probably about 100 pounds),
strong, fluffy and gorgeous,
yet well-trained and a big sweetheart.
Somehow, 4 months has already flown by and I am still here with no
viable
options for adoption. Crazy, huh? I know how to walk on a leash,
know some basic obedience and tricks and love
love love to ride in the
car. One of the volunteers here even started to work on agility with
me…just the
baby basics, but it is FUN! It seems I am in the
neighborhood of two years old, maybe a tad younger. No one
knows for sure
because of my sad past and limited history, but the humans bet that I am
house-broken.
I had a
Jack Russell little brother who also suffered from the
“we’re moving” excuse, so I have a history of
living with some dogs. To
be honest, this living in a rescue and not in a home is starting to get
on my nerves
and make me pretty sad and a little high energy…I
really need someone who will spend time with me and who will train
me
regularly. Without that, another dog in the house may not be a good idea. I
don’t mean to sound
species-ist, but I do not want to live with cats
please. I really don’t like them. Just trying to be
open and
honest, no one is perfect, right?
The rescue has taken care of all of my medical needs, and I am up to
date
on my shots, micro chipped, and neutered. I am heartworm negative
and am on preventative medicine to keep it that
way…as all dogs should
be! I have had to be in a crate before for various reasons, like
trips to the vet
and whatnot, and I do just fine with that…so, crate
training me should be a breeze. It just need to be a BIG
crate!!
Thanks for taking the time to read about me. I’d love it if you came
to visit, maybe even to
take me home with you? If you end up moving
and promise not to leave me behind, I’ll even learn to pack boxes,
or
maybe even drag things out to the truck. I love to work afterall.
Signed with the loyalty only a dog can
manage,
Chosin
