*Periwinkle Seashell - Bichon Frise / Maltese / Mixed (medium coat) Dog For Adoption

View more

kle joins us from San Jose Animal Care Center and San Jose Animal Advocates and was treated there by Tails of a Shelter Vet Periwinkle is a 14 yr old, 16 lb Bichon Frise Mix (Maltese? Poodle?). He was previously neutered and has been microchipped and vaccinated. He has also had senior labwork. He had to go immediately to the groomer for a shave down when he got here (like they literally fit us in on an emergency basis) as his coat had been neglected for months or longer and was pulling on his skin and causing him pain. He was dumped at the shelter because of a "divorce" and we think that is the most shameful and ridiculous thing ever. HE wasn't the cause of a marriage breaking up but he was the victim. He was purchased as a pup 14 years ago and then dumped because neither adult wanted to take responsibility for him. For shame. It wasn't just Periwinkle's coat that had been neglected for so long... his mouth is HORRIFIC and he will be getting a dental cleaning (with extractions) on Friday 7/21/17. While he is under, he will be getting his two "cherry eyes" repaired. (Cherry eye is a cosmetic issue with Periwinkle as it is most of the time, but since he will be under anesthesia for the dental, we will have it taken care of as well). Periwinkle is a NICE dog who loves to go on walks. He gets along well with other dogs, seems to ignore cats and would be fine with children. He appears to be housebroken and crate trained and he is EXCELLENT on the leash. Like all non-shedding dogs, he will require regular trips to the groomer every 6-8 weeks to ensure that he stays mat-free (and pain free). Periwinkle is ADOPTABLE and is awaiting his retirement home. He is located in the SF Bay Area of CA and we will entertain REASONABLE adoption inquiries out of the area. However, do not ask us to ship him to you like he is an Amazon package.
