The most utterly adorable... wonderfully content.. friendly and mellow dude.. meet LARS! He arrived to us on a recent transport as jolly and friendly as can be! He popped off the van strutting his stuff, happy as can be greeting everyone with a smile.. human and canine friends alike! Although we aren't exactly certain of his age, Lars is an adult dog (guessing 8-10 years old) he still acts like a pup! Lars prances joyfully on long walks, goes for hikes and can actually be quite (adorably) insistent when he wants you to play with him! He play bows and at times even lets out some happy barks to let you know he's there!
When we pulled Lars, he had a large growth on the skin by his shoulder blade. The initial aspirate our veterinarian took showed nothing concerning. The growth was removed and a larger tissue sample was sent to the lab. At this time, we had multiple applicants for Lars and he had a confirmed adopter. However, the cytology report from the tissue sample came back malignant for a rare form of cancer. GOOD NEWS is this type of cancer is curable by removing the tumor along with the tissue around the tumor, which is exactly what we did. There is a 90% chance the cancer will not ever come back. AWESOME!!!!!!! Unfortunately, because of this news Lars' adoption fell through ... so he is back up for adoption!
Lars has got it all! He is a playful boy but is also true companion/lap dog. Lars enjoys sitting together taking in the sights and scents.. likes to be connected.. he leans into you.. which is incredibly dear and touching!!! During staff meetings, Lars hops into the nearest chair and sit there like a human! He is also a major couch cuddler.. if you are on the couch, Lars will be right there next to you. He is the perfect companion for someone looking to add a calm, mature yet playful presence to their household. We can't get enough of this little guy!!! He is dog social, great on a leash.. kind and gentle.. incredibly entertaining and deliciously affectionate!
