Those who regularly follow our page may be familiar with Popeye’s story. For those who are not, we would shortly say, that we met this wonderful Dalmatian mix in January this year. How did he live up to then, we didn’t even want to imagine, but it definitely was in pain and misery. Popeye had an old trauma on his back paw and his surgery was relatively routine. The boy did not recover well, so an amputation was necessary, but he is trying and walking on his 3 now.
Day after day, recovering quietly in the shelter, precious Popeye made one wish every night before going to sleep: to find a forever home and owners. His wish almost came through, when recently our friendly Popeye went to a foster home. Here is what his foster caregiver said about wonderful Popeye’s perfect disciplinе:
“When he came in, he lied down next to the door and stayed there like he was punished. I had to place his bed there. This was the place he spent most of the time in his first 3 days. This was the place I would always see him last thing in the evening and first thing in the morning, he made no sound.
Popeye liked going out only when necessary and just to do his job. He might lie down on the grass, but he prefers walking on the street. He was apparently living in a house. He wasn’t familiar with the elevator and wanted to go for a wall from the balcony /this is hard since I live on the 15th floor/. He does 2 things flawlessly – eating and cuddling. If I don’t cuddle him, he makes a sad face, and when I start cuddling him, it all goes away. He is a perfect car-passenger – he knows his place and doesn’t move.
All in all – Popeye has a perfect discipline. I trained him to go to the balcony through the kitchen. Sunny or shady, whenever he wants. He never tried to steal food from the kitchen, although he constantly walks by it. He never crossed the doorstep of a room he was not allowed in; he never had an accident – an incredible dog.”
Popeye is looking for a permanent home and family,he dreams and craves it every night. If you think you can make his wish come true – please contact us. Popeye is like iron, he would never make any trouble.
