Hi, my name is Shy-loh! I'm a 3- to 5-year old small standard-sized American Eskimo male who weighs approximately 20 pounds, which is actually underweight for me, so my foster mommy is trying to fatten me up. I'm a very affectionate and cuddly boy--and quite handsome to boot! And don't I look too adorable dressed up in my St. Paddy's outfit? :o)

I came to Eskie Rescuers United diagnosed heartworm positive, but I got treated for it in late January. I'm recently neutered, current on all my vaccinations and am mostly housebroken, though I have had a few marking incidents. My foster mommy thinks it's because I was in a shelter for a while and I forgot some of my manners. We're working hard on that and I'm doing really well (and should do even better now that I'm neutered).

I've just learned how to walk nicely on a leash and to "sit" pretty. Now we're practicing "stay" and "come," and I'm told I'm a very smart boy for catching on so fast! I'm very eager to please. I'm not much of a chewer, so your favorite slippers are safe from me. :o) I do like my Kong toy--especially when it's filled with treats! Yummy!

I get along very well with the other dogs here, though I haven't been able to play with them as much as I would have liked to. My heartworm treatment required that I be kept calm and quiet, which was a difficult thing for a playful guy like myself! There aren't any cats here, so we're not sure how I would react to them, but I DO love ladies and gentle children who know how to be sweet and kind to me. I'm a little timid around men when I first meet them, but I do warm up soon enough. I'm hand-shy, which means I was probably abused in my former life (most likely by a man), so I'll need my new family to have patience with me as I adjust to my new home and the new people in my life.

I'm a really sweet little fella who is not at all aggressive, so I'd make a great family pet. I'm a naturally happy guy, as evidenced by how much I wag that fluffy tail of mine! I can be very playful or I can be a couch potato and curl up and snuggle with you--I'm extremely good at both! During my treatment I had to be kept crated sometimes just to keep me calm, which I didn't really like. And even though I'm now all better, it would still be a good idea to pet-gate me when you're away from home, to help me remember my indoor manners.

Oh, one more thing about me--I don't bark very much. My foster mommy says my foster brothers and sister keep trying to teach me that little "trick," but so far they haven't been very successful. I can't imagine why she is so happy about that--can you? HeHe! Anyway, here I am, getting my suitcases out and ready to start packing as soon as I hear the news that someone is interested in adding me to their family--will that be you? I didn't have a very good start in life, so it sure would be nice to find a loving home who will always cherish me--and keep me on my monthly heartworm medication! I don't think that's too much to ask, do you?

If you're interested in me and would like more information, please contact Deborah at: deborah@eskierescuersunited.org or feel free to e-mail my foster mommy directly at: susana@eskierescuersunited.org. Better yet, you can go to our web site at: www.eskierescuersunited.org and fill out an adoption application for me!

I'm currently in Michigan, and to get me to you, we can do what's called an "Eskie Railroad," which is a group of volunteer drivers who will each drive a certain portion of the transport. (We always ask that you, as the adopter, help out by taking the final leg.)

There is an adoption fee required, and please be aware that Eskie Rescuers United will not adopt out its dogs as outdoor dogs.

Thank you and WOOF!
