Kenji - Status Unknown


Name: Kenji
Sex: Male (altered)
Breed: Hound Mix
Age: 2 years
Location: Pontotoc, MS

 
Vet/Medical Info: Kenji is neutered, they have no record of HW test or doing any vaccines. He was there in March for sores on his ears, treated for ear mites and put on Cephalexin, back on April 16th, ears still not better. They said he has ongoing ear sores and problems with ears. Asked if he ever exhibited odd behavior or had any other issues, and they said nothing was noted.
Owner Info: Kenji's owner has been looking for someone to give him a home for a couple of months, ever since she knew she had to move. She looked for a place that would allow her to keep him but could not find one. She took him to a rescue recently but they could not keep him for long and he hardly ate, barked all the time and showed some very odd and distressed behavior. She went and got him back and he is currently staying with friends short term. Kenji is a wonderful dog. The shelter said he has a condition called Collie Eye Anomolie and he was probably born blind. He is housebroken and leash trained and is just a good boy. He gets on well with people and other dogs. He does bark a lot when he is around a lot of noise or excitement, she thinks it is because he doesn't know what is going on. When he is inside and it is calm he will lay down and never bothers anything. Kenji would be best suited as an only dog or with just one or two other dogs around. His owner would do anything to be able to keep him, but can't find a new home that allows bigger dogs. Owner has said he is up to date with vaccinations and HW negative but we have been unable to verify this.
