7/15/19 - Pacino is a sweetheart of a guy. He definitely doesn't act, look or feel his age. The guy seems more like 7 years old. He is a bigger, longer bodied boy, but still small enough to pick up and love. He loves giving kisses and is very in tune with his people. Since his bladder stone surgery, he eats a prescription diet. If there are other pups in the home, Pacino would have to be put up to eat since he is food aggressive with other dogs. We aren't sure where this stemmed from, but it is an easy fix, just put in a room to eat or a crate. If there aren't any other dogs in the home, which Pacino would absolutely love, there is no need to put him up while eating. He is fine with the other dogs all other times, so could co-exist or be the only big baby. We have just noticed a growth on Pacino's leg by his front left shoulder, and will be getting it checked out and removed soon, along with a tiny sty on the inside of his bottom eyelid. Pacino would be a great addition to a laid back home with or without dogs where he can be loved and give love.
6/21/19 - Pacino has been in his foster home for a while now and wants to give everyone an update. You would not be able to guess his age if you met him because he acts so young at heart and has energy to burn. His legs are like springs and he can bounce very high. He needs a big secure yard to run and play in and owners that can watch him when the front door is open since he is very curious and tempted to run. The perfect home for Pacino would be where he could be the only pup or with one other calm dog since he loves getting a lot of attention. He does have Napoleon tendencies at feeding time, so he eats separately and isn’t let out until everyone is finished so as not to have any fights.
Please give Pacino a chance at a home where he is the main man and he will not disappoint you.
3/20/19 - Now since I am feeling better, foster mom said that it is time for me to tell the world about myself. Well, my name is Pacino, as in Al Pacino. My previous mom could not keep me any longer due to life changes, so my new foster mom stepped in to give me a place to call my own until she could find me my real home. Shortly after coming to live with her, she realized I had bladder stones and needed immediate surgery. That was done and now I feel so much better. I will have to stay on a prescription diet food (Royal Canin Urinary SO hard food) from now on so they won’t return, but it’s fine because I like my new food.
I eat twice daily and need to eat alone. I tend to be a bit of a terminator if another dog comes around while I am trying to enjoy by kibble. So, it’s much easier if I just eat alone and stay up until all the other furbabies are finished eating.
I’m ok around children as long as they are older and don’t get too chaotic or want to pull on my ears or tail. And I do like to give the humans, old or young, kisses.
I would love to sleep in bed with my humans and I promise I will not take up too much of the bed or covers.
I get very attached to my humans and love getting and giving attention. I can also be a great coach potato if you want to snuggle and cuddle for some movies. I also like playing with toys. My potty training is coming along, and I will use pee pads, but foster mom still catches me marking at times. So, I’m not perfect.
I will bark when I’m excite or when the other dogs bark, it isn’t crazy obsessive. I’m a little timid around the vacuum cleaner but getting more used to it. I have very strong legs and can jump on the furniture to be with you.
I do have terrier in me, so I will have to be put up or picked up if someone is at the door because I will take that opportunity to run off. The unknown just looks so exciting.
I wouldn’t mind another doggy to play with, but they shouldn’t be too rough because I can get offended easily. I might be 10 years old, but I don’t know it and I have energy to play. That doesn’t mean that I can turn right around and nap or cuddle with my humans.
I just an all-around great boy that is in the prime of my life. I’m up for a walk, a nap or basically whatever you want. First, you have to apply to adopt me and then we can discuss adventures.
2/24/19 - Thanks to all of you, Pacino had his bladder stone surgery Friday and is doing well. We are so happy for this little man. His foster mom picked him up yesterday and its as if he never had surgery. It's amazing what these babies can endure. He will have a recheck in about a week to have a urinalysis and see if all is well, then schedule his dental and he will get a microchip at that time. Pacino said to tell everyone thank you and we will be posting a bio soon to tell about his personality very soon.
2/14/19 - Pacino needs immediate surgery because he is in need of surgery. He has 1 large bladder stone in his bladder. Please consider donating to Pacino so we can get him comfortable. He was surrendered by his owner because she did not have time for him. He is in a foster home now and ready to have surgery and start feeling better. PLEASE HELP US HELP PACINO!!!
