Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Ami is a sensitive, anxious, loving, but also very nervous, five-year-old, 35-pound, black and white male Cocker Spaniel looking for a loving guardian. Ami lived with a couple in their 80's. Sadly the woman became ill and entered a nursing home, and the man moved out of the country. Ami bonds very closely to his humans to the exclusion of everyone else. He has never lived in a home with other pets before, and is not adjusting well to sharing his humans, space or things. He has transferred all his love to his new foster mom. He follows her around, sits outside the bathroom door, and pines for her in the window every time she leaves the home. While he also loves her 19-year-old son, he would probably be happiest in a home with one or two adults only who know and love the Cocker Spaniel breed. While he has never bit anyone, he does growl when uncomfortable and nervous does not like to be picked up. He loves his leashed walks, is crate-trained and housebroken. He is healthy, neutered, vaccinated with a one-year bordetella, and three-year rabies vaccine. He had a full-veterinary exam with a fecal test, and ears treated for a yeast infection. He eats a limited ingredient lamb dog food, as he appears to have ear issues when he eats chicken or beef. He was the center of the universe of his former mom who doted on him and would put out an entire bowl of treats for him to enjoy so he is currently on a diet and going on more walks for exercise. He doesn't appear to understand any commands in English, but he's accustomed to being spoken to in Polish. His adoption fee of $250 benefits the rescued dogs of Friends of Petraits Rescue. To meet and possibly adopt Ami please fill in an adoption application at https://friendsofpetraits.com/dog-cat-adoption-application/ and contact friendsofpetraits@gmail.com for an appointment to meet him.
