Daiquiri

COURTESY POSTING. THIS DOG IS NOT AT OUR RESCUE. PLEASE CONTACT AMY, WHOSE NUMBER IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST. LET'S SEE IF WE CAN'T HELP GET THIS SPECIAL BOY THE HOME HE DESERVES. THANK YOU. <br/>Daiquiri’s journey has not been an easy one. He was brought into Pinal<br/>shelter dehydrated and covered in cactus. One of our shelter team members<br/>completed an evaluation of him saying he was approachable, solicited<br/>attention and allowed petting. We were able to touch all of his body parts<br/>without any issues. He had a super sweet personality (gave affectionate<br/>kisses) but he did try to bolt out of the room when the door opened.<br/>Although we did not do a DNA test on him we thought he was Great<br/>Pyrenees/lab mix with possibility some Shepard based on his personality<br/>traits. Pinal shelter dog tested him in a play yard and did not get any<br/>reaction – in fact he appeared aloof and did not interact with the dog.<br/>Based on what we gleamed from the evaluation, we pulled him and drove him<br/>to Heidi’s Village because we didn’t have a foster at the time. Two days<br/>into his stay he was diagnosed with a bad URI and placed in the ISO ward for<br/>four days. He had no human interaction other than when staff was feeding<br/>and cleaning his kennel. After 4 days (he was very stressed), he was put<br/>back into general boarding but staff and volunteers quickly realized he<br/>didn’t like being in a kennel or confined to a small area (not unusual for<br/>the breed). When a staff member was trying to get him into his kennel he<br/>was fighting not to go in and in the process bit the handler. It was<br/>reported to county. He had to go back into ISO for another 10 days. After<br/>he came out of ISO we transferred him to a smaller boarding facility but<br/>that’s when the destructive behavior became problematic.<br/>Recently, Daiquiri had to come back to Heidi’s for an injured toe and a<br/>chipped canine tooth that came as a result of trying to get out of his<br/>kennel. Here are the comments from the staff during his visit.<br/>From the clinic on him being muzzled:<br/>He was only muzzled as a precaution. He is a very sweet boy, just big ?<br/>As far as behavior he is a door dasher but that's about it. We already know<br/>he has some barrier issues and doesn't really like to be stuck in a room.<br/>We love him though, he is a big baby ??<br/>Daiquiri needs to be roaming free because of his isolation/kennel anxiety.<br/>We feel that the best place for him would be on a rural farm so he has the<br/>freedom and space to be the sweet and loveable dog we know he can be.<br/>Unfortunately our adopters are mostly in the valley and don’t have the kind<br/>of yard we think Daiquiri needs. <br/>If you can help us find a new home for Daiquiri we would be grateful.<br/>Should you have any additional questions, please call me.<br/>Amy Ahrensdorf<br/>Shelter Intake Co-Chair<br/>Foster<br/>Desert Labrador Retriever Rescue<br/>602.989.5683
