Puma

Puma - Adopted!

Grab your beverage of choice; this one is worth reading.  Puma’s story is awesome. It took a turn for best when he was picked up by animal control for the *second* time, and locked away in a shelter. (Stick with us...)
The first time, his people picked him up but the second time they said he was too old (now) so they didn’t want him back.

Next he stayed in a metal cell with no view of anything but metal. For a month. THEN one day a couple of LTR volunteers were picking up another senior dog and the shelter staff mentioned Puma, so he came to LTR a day before his “time was up”.

Puma served a prison sentence in solitary confinement for being too old.
Now he lives in a gorgeous country estate with a view of hills and vineyards for miles. He has horse and cat friends and some really great humans to shower him with love for the rest of his days.

His family chooses to remain anonymously awesome but they love Puma and that’s all that matters. (And so do we btw...)

We rescued Puma recently from his month-long stay at the Martinez shelter, thanks to their wonderful staff who brought him to our attention. At 12 years old, his family did not want him back after he was wandering the streets alone, more likely dumped. He does not stray from his foster mom and loves to sleep in the warm house.

Puma prefers to be the only dog and does have a bit of food guarding tendencies but he is an older gentleman so he’s more bark than bite in these scenarios.  He’s good with cats and has lots of energy for walks and adventure, so long as it’s with his person or people.  Puma is precious and we are cleaning his teeth so he will be ready for kisses! He’s around 15 pounds of love.
