Sketch’s foster mom, Michele, told us recently that the vet noticed a small heart murmur along with an ulcer under his right eye. He was treated for the ulcer but we will be looking into checking into the murmur some more. Sketch’s eye seems to bother him and we are wondering if he will need surgery to have it removed.
Sketch (aka Casper) is very friendly and cuddly. He loves people more than dogs. He isn’t necessarily anti-dog, just prefers people over dogs. He doesn’t really know how to play with toys, but since he has seen some of our other dogs play, he has started to play with toys a little. He loves his walks and gets very excited when he sees you pick up his leash.
He was moved to Michele’s house because he barked a lot and his former foster’s neighbors started to complain. Michele told us that he did cry and bark when she put him to bed and she had to sleep near him to get him to calm down. After that first night, he’s been better and she has left the tv on when she’s out so he has some images to distract him. He also has a friend, another NYCSR rescue, Miyuki, and they get along great! They even slept together in the dog crate one night.
Sketch is very friendly, enjoys the company of people and other dogs, and has no aggressive behavior at all.
Here’s a video Michele took of Sketch:
