Pet of the Week: Iron, the comical looking dog

Here are “Iron” (pronounced “Eye Ron”) and long time Shelter employee,Kenneth Piar. As you can tell by the expression on Iron’s face, Kenneth is a good friend. Iron is a comical looking dog with his cute face – one ear up, one ear down and that wiry fur. If the Hollywood movie producers saw him they’d hire him in a minute. He’s even cuter than the dog, Sandy, in “Annie!” But Hollywood may not be for him. He’d rather find a nice friendly and adoring master or mistress and perform for them instead. When he was just a puppy someone put him in the drop off cage (Kouchi Pa Bestia). He was very skinny and malnourished. But look at him now. What a guy. He’s friendly, not aggressive, but full of energy  and lots of fun. He’s a smarty too and should be easy to train. At one and a half years old, he’s healthy, sterilized, has his microchip and is ready to go. (Do we hear Hollywood calling?) You may see Iron at the Shelter on the Lagoen Road, open Monday through Saturday, 9 am to1 pm, 3 to 5 pm. Tel. 717-4989. Check out the website. It’s amazingly up to date with all sorts of new and historical information.

Good news! Former Pets of the Week, Louis, Eveline and Lily Marlene have all been adopted! Congratulations to all – pets and their new owners.May you enjoy many happy times.
