Comet came to Paws Rescue League Inc, when he was saved from the local kill shelter. His previous owners dumped him right before the Christmas holidays ( probably to make room for a puppy). Comet is a 4-6 year old male cocker spaniel mix, he has spent his whole life with his previous owners. His whole life was flipped upside down as he sat at a cold, loud and scary animal control building, unsure what it was that he did wrong. Sad, confused, and defeated he looked at everyone with the saddest eyes. Although we had closed our intake due to the overwhelming amount of dogs we have saved, and very little volunteer help, no foster home openings, and declined adoption rates, we could not turn our backs on this little fella. Comet is a sweet little guy, about 25lbs, who just wants to be near you. Since he was abandoned, he has been nervous that his new people will abandon him too. Heartbreaking. Comet is good with other dogs, good with kids, we do suggest children 12 years and older who understand how to give a dog space. We are unsure how he would do with cats,as his foster did not have a cat. He is crate and fully potty trained. He may have an accident while he adjusts to his new routine in his furever home. One look in to this boys eyes, and you have to ask, how could anyone toss him away like trash, and replace him with a puppy? Comet was adopted on December 4th 2022, and was returned on March 1st 2023. He had just got to the 3 month mark to where he finally felt like he was home. He then was retuned back to PRL. The previous adopter and Comet were not a compatible match, there were many kids in the home, and Comet prefers a quiet life. Comet needs a home where its just him and his person, (or people who have experience with a timid, scared dog) and maybe another dog to help with his confidence. Comet was thrown out like trash by his original owner, and now returned by his 2nd owner. It takes Comet a little time to to get comfortable in his new environments, but he warms up to his new person IMMEDIATELY. He can be protective of his people, (who can blame him, when hes lost his family at least twice now). He does communicate when he is uncomfortable, or scared. He will bear his teeth if he is feeling threatened or nervous. He has nipped before toward small children, so NO SMALL KIDS. An owner with experience with nervous, timid and scared dogs, and experienced with dogs who have been abused before is preferred. He needs an owner who will walks him on a real leash, retractable leashes are not safe for dogs, especially dogs who are timid, and nervous. He needs a family who will continue with his crate training, which implements boundaries. Comet would like a lap to lay on, get belly rubs, and some yummy snacks, in a quiet, slow paced home with a person who loves him. A quiet home with a fenced in yard is recommended, and a home with no small children is a must. Comet has very low energy, he is a couch potato who wants to be close to his person at all times. He is a very sweet loving, affectionate guy, but just needs the right home for him.
