Reno #2

Updated on Thursday, 05/03/2007

Adopted!

Reno has so much to tell us with his soulful eyes. He is a 2-year-old, gorgeous (okay - handsome) red-and-black, pure-bred, tattooed male GSD. His family took him to the SPCA due to a divorce. Poor Reno also lost the family that he loved and rapidly shed weight while kenneled, then was diagnosed with Endocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency. Now that Reno is taking enzymes so his body can digest and absorb nutrients, he went from 60 lbs to 95 healthy pounds in a matter of weeks. Reno will need enzymes with his meals for life now which cost 57 cents per day. (We pay much more than that for a bottle of water.) Reno loves affection and like most GSDs, wants to be your Velcro pal. He just cuddles up, kisses sometimes or lays his head in your lap - always close enough to touch. Squeaky toys and balls of any size just thrill him while playing. He is amazing as he immediately sits, lies down and stays with hand commands and we suspect he may know some German commands. Very intelligent, great focus and activity. He really enjoys people young and old. Always good meeting friends, neighbors and children. An experienced GSD owner is a must. Ideal family must love to play ball daily, must enjoy continuous companionship (he always has me in sight), enjoy water play, provide squeaky and stuffed toys plus consider agility, obedience trials, SAR, hiking, running or other activities to fulfill this highly intelligent, devoted, talented boy's drive.
