LOOKING FOR SPECIAL ADOPTER! Obi is a beautiful 4 year old boy who was surrendered to the rescue in April 2022 due to RESOURCE GUARDING (food, treats, high value toys) and FEAR OF UNFAMILIAR PEOPLE. After arrival, he slowly formed good relations with several staff members. In the summer of 2023, he began developing severe scabbing, primarily on his nose, above his eyes, and on the edges of his ears. As this got worse, he began to show increasing irritability when interacting with people. This was most likely from the discomfort he was experiencing. After several visits to the vet, he was diagnosed as having DISCOID (CUTANEOUS) LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS and was started on a higher dose of Prednisone tablets, gradually tapering to a lower maintenance dose. The scabs have been steadily resolving, and Obi's behavior has improved tremendously. Although he has improved, this condition can possibly flare up throughout his lifetime, requiring veterinary follow-up for medication adjustments. We now believe we can begin searching for his perfect forever home. ONCE HE LEARNS HE CAN TRUST SOMEONE, OBI IS A WONDERFUL BOY WHO LOVES TUMMY RUBS, GOING FOR WALKS AND CAR RIDES, AND SHORT PLAY SESSIONS. TO HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF A SUCCESSFUL ADOPTION, Obi probably needs a single person who does not have children, other pets, or frequent visitors in the home. Adopter must live in their own house (no townhouses, condos, or apartments) with a minimum of a six-foot high, solid fence (wood or PVC). Experience with Great Pyrenees and dogs who have trust issues is a plus. The adopter SHOULD LIVE IN THE COLORADO SPRINGS/PEYTON AREA AND/OR BE WILLING TO COME OUT TO THE RESCUE A MINIMUM OF ONCE A WEEK TO SPEND 1:1 TIME WITH OBI TO GET TO KNOW HIM, LEARN HOW TO READ HIS BODY LANGUAGE, AND EARN HIS TRUST PRIOR TO DECIDING IF ADOPTION IS APPROPRIATE. THIS MAY TAKE A COUPLE OF MONTHS, DEPENDING ON THE FREQUENCY OF THE VISITS. RESCUE STAFF WILL PROVIDE TRAINING AND SUPERVISION TO ASSIST THE POTENTIAL ADOPTER DURING THIS TIME. If you think you might be the person Obi is looking for, please complete the adoption application on the home page. We will contact you and provide more detailed information.
