THURSTON — SHAR PEI HOUND MIX
Age: 6½ Years.
Story: Thurston is very sweet and easy going. He loves to be petted and being close to his person. He is well behaved, comes when called, sits, and waits at the door or in the car until you tell him to come out. He likes to play with tennis balls and enjoys having a yard to explore. He gets along well with big and little dogs. He has had some contact with cats and seems just curious about them. Thurston has Valley Fever and is on Fluconazole. He has dry eye syndrome and is on a maintenance dose of prescription medicine Optimmune 0.2% Cyclosporine ointment. He has been prone to allergic/bacterial infections in his paws but daily wiping with Douxo Chlorhexidine Mouse or antibacterial wipes help keep that in check. Despite his health issues, he is just the sweetest boy, and would make a wonderful companion dog.
