New Foster Ikey

Ikie joined our home as our 1st foster last week. He is a healthy, 10 year old neutered male with a shiny coat and alert disposition. His owner was an elderly gentleman from Virginia who had him since a puppy and is deceased. He obviously put a lot of time and effort into raising an extremely well behaved and lovable boy.

Over the week we have had him, he has blossomed into a content, peaceful and playful, loving dog.  It is impossible to not love this little dog. Everyone who meets him is smitten.

He only has one eye, as he had a run in with some pine trees in 2014 in the care of his original owner and they had no choice but to remove the other eye. It is stitched up nicely and is not gross in any way - he just always look like he is winking at you. I think it makes him even more precious, as does his habit of sticking his tongue out (see picture).

He is housebroken, really good on a leash, friendly to other dogs and good with kids. He is very playful - he likes to play a lot of fetch in the house and play with his ball and toys. He is very cuddly, likes to sit next to you as he chews on a toy or even takes a snooze. He is a sweet and darling angel. Whoever ends up adopting Ikey is getting a real gem. If we had not already owned 4 of our own, we would keep him in a heartbeat.

We are blessed to have him!
