Ignatz

***COUTRESY POST*** Contact Orcas APS at [email protected] if you are interested in meeting this pet. Ignatz is a really loving and cuddly dog, mostly content to be asleep on the couch next to his owner. He would be an ideal companion for someone who is retired or works from home, as he is a great living companion. He never destroys property or gardens and is *extremely* well housebroken. He won't sneak food or get into things. He loves people and snuggles, and will follow you around, very much a Velcro dog. He loves sitting in a large tote bag and being carried around. He is responsive to treats and training when in a calm state, but is easily put over-threshold, so is not good at being in busy areas. He has some separation anxiety and will be vocal periodically when left alone. He gets along with other dogs off leash and loves to play, but if there is a barrier (a leash or fence) he will become reactive. Ignatz needs to live somewhere with a private yard with fence so he can run freely. Another dog friend to play with could be a good match. Ignatz is naturally hairless on his body but has very soft skin. He needs sunscreen in the summer, He has many outfits for the winter and fall. His grooming needs are very minimal, and he is hypoallergenic. As a puppy he lived on Orcas Island but more recently he has been living in Berlin, Germany, where the congestion and crowds are difficult for him. He is being sadly re-homed due to changing jobs and no current access to a yard or garden. He is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and comes with an EU pet passport with his medical records. Disclaimer: The companion animal you are interested in is a courtesy post. Orcas APS often helps pets outside our organization to find new homes, and these are called "courtesy posts." By courtesy posting pets from owners, we offer our website (and sometimes email assistance) as a resource to help their pet gain extra exposure. The pet's bio comes directly from the owner, and we expect them to provide accurate information, to the best of their knowledge. Orcas APS in most cases has not met or evaluated these companion animals, so no information about a courtesy post is guaranteed. We cannot accept responsibility for any injury or damages to any person or property caused by any courtesy post animals. Courtesy post pets are the sole responsibility of the owner and the new family. In addition, Orcas APS cannot take these pets in if the courtesy post adoption does not work out. Also, although we occasionally might ask you to email us (if you're interested in adopting a courtesy post pet), it's just so we can help the owner connect with applicants. All unaltered courtesy posted dogs are required to be surgically altered before being rehomed.
