An E.C.A.D.R. Dog
Li Shi (meaning "Lucky" -
as in very lucky we found him at a very high-kill shelter before
it was too late!) is a handsome white and tan, 5 year old Pekingese
boy.
Though friendly, his one bugaboo is
that he doesn't like to be picked up - he has probably been picked
up badly more than once
and remembers the pain it can cause for these little long-backed
Asian breeds. Though small, Li Shi would probably not be a very
good apartment dog because he does like to bark when he hears a noise
- and he likes to run around in a fenced-in yard. Like most Pekes,
he likes the cold and snow!
Li Shi is an escape artist and will
try
to get out the door every chance he gets. Obedience training
- particularly with the "Wait" command would be very helpful
for this little guy. Going to obedience school is also a wonderful
way to
bond with your new dog. Li
Shi is already crate trained, but isn't
really in need of crating as his house manners are good. He is
good with the other dogs in his foster home, but is food aggressive
and
needs to be fed separately or in his crate. Again, training would
be very helpful as food aggression is not a terribly difficult
behavior to change. Attitude towards cats is unknown as there aren't
any in
his foster home.
Li Shi is being fostered in central
New Jersey and his asking adoption fee is $225.
