About Fred Astaire

Adoption Fee: $200
Shiba Inu mix
Age: Senior
Sex: Male

Fred is a sweetheart that found me when he had a horrible skin infection and was missing most of his fur. He is mild mannered and gentle, but somewhat obstinate. He mostly wants to make his humans happy, but does not recall well, even if he sees you signing (he is almost completely deaf, but can hear a high-pitched whistle). He knows some basic sign commands: sit, down and come. We estimate his age to be around twelve years. He trots along on walks and is surprisingly spry for a senior. He even lays like a frog sometimes! Fred loves to snuggle and watch TV with his humans. He is good for nail trims, baths, anal gland expression, shots, teeth cleaning and brushing! Unfortunately, he suffers from horrible allergies (mostly environmental), so he requires weekly, medicated baths and nightly foot wiping. He also needs Cytopoint injections quarterly. Yes, he is high-maintenance, but he is worth it! He is cheerful and happy in nature and when he feels excited that you're home, or is about to eat or go for a walk, he dances and does that Shiba 'scream'! I love Fred dearly and I am looking for a home for him that will be able and happy to spend time with him and lavish him with love and a wonderful environment. If you are interested in meeting him or have any questions for me, don't hesitate to reach out!
