[Update: Dec 4, 2014 - Nemo is currently living happily with E. Chan]
Nemo is a 2 years' old male Poodle. He was found abandoned in a cage near a house and Mr. V. Lee has picked him up and sent him to the vet. Later, Ms. Phang approached us to foster Nemo.
Nemo suffered from skin problem when he was abandoned. After multiple trial & error, we finally narrowed down his source of skin allergy. We now cook minced pork + organic vegetable for him and adding a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar and a teaspoon of virgin coconut oil for him daily. With such diet, his skin problem has improved tremendously!
Nemo is a very affectionate dog. He loves attention. He is generally quiet and calm. Nemo is toilet trained. He does his business on grass outdoor and on newspaper indoor. He knows a few commands like sit, down, hand hand/ paw, stand, and spin.
Nemo does not like intact male dogs. He barks and growls at them. He is fine with neutered male and female dogs. Adopter should be an experienced dog lover to be able to cope with such behavior. So, be watchful if you bring him out to the park to mingle with other dogs.
We have spent a total of RM1,100 (medical expenses & supplement, heartworm prevention, neutering). If you are interested to adopt, kindly pay an adoption fee of RM200.
Please note that adoption is NOT on a first-come-first-serve basis. Please describe the following in your email, so that we can choose the best home for him:
1. Your experience with dogs (we prefer someone with experience handling dogs for this case)
2. The environment you intend to keep him (i.e. indoor, no cage)
3. If you are willing to go on a 1-month adoption trial and to allow house visit to see if Nemo is coping well.
Please note that those who do not describe the 3 key points will not get a response from us. Thank you for choosing to adopt over buying.
