Ciunas

Meet Ciunas!<br/>Ciunas is an Irish word meaning "calm, silent, or still." Which, we'll admit, is a good description of Ciunas. Sometimes. Other times he's chasing tennis balls and acting like no one has ever told him that he's technically a senior, wiggly his little nub of a tail as fast as possible as he tries to climb into your lap and have you scratch all those itchy spots he can't reach, and using his biggest bark to tell you exactly how you've offended him and what you can do to make it right. There's no denying that he's a strange little dog - shaped like a particularly fat sausage with the littlest legs that can move at remarkable speeds and filled with an opinionated, feisty, and at the same time extremely sweet personality. Ciunas can be a little shy at first and he appreciates when people take things slow and go at his pace, so he'd prefer not having to live or interact with children in the home. That said, he has lived with dogs before with no concerns at all. He's a chunky little man and is on a weight loss journey in order to improve his overall quality of life and joint health - he came in weighing 27 pounds with an estimated ideal weight of only 15.<br/><br/>Ciunas is in our special adoption program which sets adopters and their new pets up for success with pre and post adoption counseling. He would do best in an adult-only home with adopters who are savvy with dog body language and are ready to take things slow, earn his trust, and teach him how to make good life decisions (for example, it's not kind to growl at the vet, Ciunas.) So, if you like spicy little sausage dogs with big personalities and plenty of love to give, please complete an adopter's profile at parl.org and email Claire at cshamgochian@parl.org to learn more and schedule a meet and greet.
