Torrence's story
Torrence is a stunning, fairly laid back, adolescent pup who has certainly taken a variety of rough detours in getting to our adoption page. Torrence came to us by way of a good sam who found him eating trash alongside the road one evening and brought him to the shelter. He was quickly moved through his medical evaluation and neutered when he wasn't claimed and adopted shortly after hitting the adoption floor. Unfortunately, Torrence fell ill with a severe case of the upper respiratory "kennel cough" crud within a day of being adopted and had some unexpected side effects (severe joint swelling and pain consistent with a septic arthritis) which resulted in him being returned to the shelter for the intensive care he needed to recover. Intensive care was not possible at the shelter due to Torrence's young age, immunocompromised state, and need for 24hour antibiotic and fluid therapy so Friends of the Shelter welcomed him in to their offsite care and within 24hours of therapy, Torrence was bouncing back and has made a complete recovery. Torrence is an uncoordinated goof of a pup who enjoys playing with other dogs but not in a rough and tumble kind of way, but rather in a gentle tug of war or hide and seek kind of way but what he really likes is to curl up in a dog bed or snuggle with his person. Torrence is crate trained but prefers not to be (and can be quite vocal about it) and housebroken although his time of "holding it," is still a work in progress. He is definitely a food motivated and eager to please kind of guy, so a puppy class for continued socialization and basic training can only make him grow into an even better dog than the pup he already is. Torrence would do well in a home with other dogs but is also perfectly content to be your one and only.
