Nick

My story

Please contact Fran Kreger (k9kids4adoption@gmail.com), (541) 926-5629 for more information about this pet.This is Nick.  He’s our 118 lb, 5 year old, big handsome and very loving Great Pyrenees/Beagle/Staffordshire Terrier mix, that unfortunately we can’t take care of to rightly meet his needs   He belongs outdoors much of the time, but we do not have the yard anymore to give him the room he needs.  We did 4 years ago, but because of our remote location and a family illness, we were forced to move back to Albany, and could not find a similar property.   He needs a new home, a loving family, preferably with some property for him to enjoy the outdoors, and ideally, the ability to go out and in when he wants (ie., a doggie door).   He has atopic allergies of the skin which makes him very unhappy at times.  He never had problems when we were on property, so we suspect a lot has to do with being cooped up in the house too much.  He gets apoquel to help mitigate the symptoms, and often we have to increase his dosage temporarily to get over flareups.   He has pee and poop accidents inside, more frequently of late as his symptoms have worsened in the winter, part of what makes it difficult to take care of him along with his itching.  Unlike out at the country house in his first year and a half, where he never had these issues and was essentially house-broken.   Please, if you are willing to take on a loving dog and have the right kind of setting, we believe he’ll thrive again.    Sadly, we will be forced to consider euthanasia as a last resort, if we cannot find him a good home.  He is a wonderful boy. Just needs the right family. Older children and room to enjoy some outdoor time. Feel free to email k9kids4adoption@gmail.com for an application, or more information. Then we can set up a visit.      January 15, 2025, 12:14 am
