PINK - I’VE CROSSED THE RAINBOW BRIDGE
My name is Pink and I am a 7 year old Lhasa Apso girl. I have beautiful soft white hair with tan markings, and I weigh about 21 pounds. I am a little bit overweight, but I think those pounds would come off if I was on a regular exercise program. My foster dad loves me and takes really good care of me, but because he is wheelchair bound, it is hard for him to walk me.
I was featured as the Fluff of the Week a number of months ago, but now I am a Forever Foster. That means that I am still up for adoption, but because I do have some health problems my foster dad is willing to love me like his own and give me a home to live out my life in the comfort of my foster home if needed. However, if you read this and think I might fit into your family, please feel free to contact my foster dad. He’ll be happy to tell you all about me.
I have 8 foster siblings and I get along with them very well, except when there is food involved!!! I love my food and tend to get protective of it by growling a little bit. I don’t snap at my foster siblings, or hurt them, but I do growl!! I have a deaf foster sibling and I know that she can’t hear my growl. Even though I’m growling away, she just walks to my food bowl and helps herself!!!
I am now deaf from a seizure that I had a little while back. I also have “lazy eye” that my ophthalmologist says was a result of a birth defect. One of my eyes looks straight ahead and the other looks off to the side. I am blind in that eye, but my eye that looks straight ahead is perfect. My foster dad says that I can see a doggie treat in his hand from 100 yards away!
I am a very sweet girl, who loves attention, tummy rubs, and ear scratches. I am not really a lap dog, but I do sleep in my foster dad’s bed, right beside him. I follow my foster dad all over the house and I love it when he stops and gives me some attention. I also will sit right next to him when he’s watching TV. And when he comes home at night, I’m right there at the door waiting for him. I LOVE to get attention. You see, when I was rescued I had a little pink rhinestone collar on. That meant that someone thought I was a little princess at one time. My foster dad thinks that I still deserve to be treated like a princess.
I also like to ride in the car and when we go on walks, I don’t pull my leash or run and jump. I am fully housebroken, know some commands, and everyone says that I am very well-behaved. I think I am actually a perfect little lady!!
I would love to be your special girl and be your little princess, but I understand that I might spend the rest of my life with my foster dad. That’s OK though, I love him and I know he will take care of me.
If you think you might be interested in learning more about me, please email us. You can reach us at my personal email address pink@actioncentral.net. I will make sure my foster dad gets the message. Also please check out my Petfinder page for even more information about me.
I am altered, up-to-date on all my shots and am heartworm negative.
