View more

Meet Mr Risso Seashell Risso comes to us from San Jose Animal Care Center via San Jose Animal Advocates where he was treated by Tails of a Shelter Vet Risso is a 14 yr old, 30 lb Shiba Inu and American Eskimo Mix (best guesses here) NEUTERED MALE. He is also microchipped, vaccinated, free of parasites and has had senior labwork and a dental cleaning. Risso was dumped at the shelter because his family was moving out of state. We guess they didn't know ***insert sarcasm*** that it is no longer illegal to move pets across state lines. (Our eye muscles get such a workout when we read the surrender forms that these people fill out at the shelter). Risso is blind. It does not bother him, so it should not bother you and we won't say anything more about that other than dogs adapt well to blindness and they learn their environment and the cues you give them and they adapt to new homes quickly. Risso is crate trained, housebroken and walks well on a short leash (so that he does not run into things). He has not bothered the cats at the vet clinic (albeit he cannot see them so take that for what it is worth). He is a gem of a dog with all people. He loves other dogs. Risso is #adoptable and would love for that special someone to see past his blindness and give him a retirement home to spend his golden years. He is located in the SF Bay Area of CA and we will entertain REASONABLE out of area adoption inquiries but we will not ship him to you as if he were an Amazon package. You have to take some initiative and work with us to get him to you.
