Liam the Greyhound mix

It amazes all of us at the shelter that Liam has not been adopted!  He is as handsome and as sweet as they come.  Yes, he may suffer from Addison's disease (http://www.addisonsdiseaseindogs.com/), but it is well controlled and shouldn't be a deterent for adoption.  His medication is very inexpensive and the shelter has received generous donations to help Liam's new family with the cost.  Liam is somewhat timid with new people, but jumps for joy meeting other dogs....it's as if he turns back into the not-a-care-in-the-world puppy he once was.  It is certainly fun to watch and it brings a tear to my eye to see him so happy.  It is because of this that I truly feel he would do best in a home with another dog.

  3. Well, Liam has been adopted - by me! I'm a nurse (meds & monitoring are no big deal to me) who lost her 12 year old dog in October. Liam has been home with me for 24 hours and has been very relaxed. All of my neighbors have dogs - a pack of 5 who play together. We met 1 just now and Liam frolicked like he's been here all along. I am honored by his trust in me. Thanks to ARLGP for my new best friend.
