Would you say your pet is a stable, well mannered, pet ? I would say Soldier has come a long way in the short time we've had him. He was rescued by my husband from a Montreal home with many animals.

What is the animal being fed? Iams healthy naturals kibble available all day and at night it is mixed with homemade stew. On weekends he eats scrambled eggs and baby beef liver for breakfastIs it free fed? yes How much per day? 2 cups Is it used to bottled water? No

Please provide this pets current routine: He is fed first thing in the morning right now with soft food because of dental surgery and then we go on a trail walk. He is free to play and follow me around. We walk the trails many times during the day. He plays ball with his buddy Sailor and he gets lots of petting time im. He can never get enough pets he just loves attention.

The best home for this pet would be: The best home would be an adult home (middle aged people)with no children. He has suffered tremendously in his life at his previous home. He shook and cowered so bad when my husband first brought him home. It took him weeks to stop shaking. He appeared frightened and prepared for someone to hurt him. It broke our hearts to see such a gentle little lamb so fearful of humans. Soldier is so very precious and it is my deepest wish and Prayer that he and Sailor stay together if at all possible. They are bonded and together 24/7. Soldier however would adjust to being in a home without Sailor. Please don't place him with children he deserves all the attention and love he was denied. Please at least place him with a middle aged couple who will devote their efforts into this precious little soul.


Soldier will come with everything he needs
