Our June 2021 Chi of the Month! Meet Alcide!
Beautiful little Adcide’s photo was sent to us by Melanie Provance from Oroville California, USA
Here’s Adcide’s mom told us about him, our June 2021 Chi of the Month winner!
“Alcide is about 4 years old and weighs a little over 3lbs. He has been a part of our family for a little over a year. I found him in a for-sale ad on Craigslist. The ad said he was 3 years old and they needed to get rid of him because they got their daughter a new Si Tzu puppy, and that there just wasn’t a reason for him to be a part of the family any longer and they wanted $150.00 for him.
The ad was from a town 300 miles away from us. I immediately contacted the woman. And she told me if I was willing to drive 300 miles to get him that she’d just give him to me. She wanted him gone more than she wanted money.”
Adcide Becomes a Part Of His New Family
“My husband and I dropped everything and immediately went to pick him up. He is the sweetest dog ever. Although the family lived in a very nice neighborhood and seemed well off, he had never been outside to go to the bathroom. They said he wouldn’t use a leash. He also was left in a small cage almost 24/7. The woman stated that he was allowed out a few minutes a day to eat.
We gladly took him and headed home. He didn’t have a name, so we named him Alcide. Mostly because he has the same coloring and markings as a werewolf named Alcide on one of my favorite shows, True Blood. He immediately took to me and can always be found cuddled next to me wherever I am. Contrary to what his previous owner had said he loves to go on walks outside and handles the leash just fine.
He never barks or growls. Unless the doorbell rings, of course. Then it sounds like we have a 60lb dog ready to attack. He loves to chew on Buffalo tripe twists. And loves running around the living room playing fetch. He is a wonderful perfect addition to our family and he will always be our baby.”
