Crouton (FL)

Adoption fee: $125.00

Crouton is about 13 years old and weigh 17 pounds, he is a very sweet and loving fella, he is almost

totally deaf, but he can hear and respond to very loud noises. Crouton has a lot of health issues, so

he will need a home that is willing to see him through any flareups and be okay with the cost. He is

partially housetrained, and may need to wear belly bands (male diapers), he tolerates them well,

they need to be changed many times a day. A person can choose to not use them if they want, but

he will lift his leg and mark. A supply of the belly bands and pads will be provided at the time of

adoption, that will be enough to last a week or more.

He enjoys to go outside, so his ideal home would be to have a nice and safe fenced yard for him to

enjoy. He was diagnosed with an intestinal disease, but he is doing great now, and the flareup

seems to have passed. He also has had ear infections, so his doctor recommends a maintenance

medicine to help this, a couple of drops every few days. He does not care for that very much, but

he will let let the drops be put in both ears. He is also prone to skin infections, so it would be

crucial to make sure he is dry if a person chooses to use belly bands.

He has cysts on his shoulder and just below his ear, his doctors feel confidant they are benign, and

because of his age and health, and that there are so many, we are not having them removed.

He recently had a dental, poor guy lost 15 teeth, he is healing nicely from that, we also did have

one growth removed, it was an odd skin growth that was hanging about 4 inches down from his

chest. We opted to removed that one, because of it's location and that it could possibly get caught

on something and possibly hurt him.

Crouton does have a bit of separation anxiety, and will get into thing, like trashcans, and will try to

chew shoes, cardboard...he is not choosy!

Crouton is waiting for his forever home in Gainesville, FL.
