Ronin

Meet Ronin, formerly known as Koolaide. His story is a sad one. For many years he was someone's dog, and while he didn't seem to have been taken care of very well, he was still someone's dog and had a home. Well his owner died, and out of respect for the deceased, his family just turned him loose on the streets to fend for himself! (What a bunch of losers) Thankfully, the neighbor corralled him, but unfortunately he called BARC to pick him up, so I don't know that you could call that a win for the dog since he immediately was sent to death row for euthanasia because of his poor condition.  Luckily Scout's Honor heard about him and stepped in to help in the nick of time.

Here is where Ronin gets his new name for his new life.  In feudal Japan when a Samurai's master died, they became loners known as Ronin, who sometimes were known to seek out revenge for their master's death.  So, since Koolaide's master died and he was turned loose to be on his own, we decided that this proud dog deserved a new name to start a new life, so Ronin it is.

Well now Ronin is safe and sound and being cared for at our vet's office. He has bad flea allergies and has scratched off a lot of fur, so he has been bathed and is on medicine to clear everything up. Poor Ronin's teeth are in bad shape and when he looks at you and smiles it looks like an old man with his dentures out.  But that smile is just too cute, and with his friendly personality, you just can't help but want to cuddle with him and look into his gentle eyes. Ronin is a Chow Chow mix, is only about 44 lbs (underweight) and about 6-8 years old. While 6-8 years is not young, this proud boy still has a lot of life left in him.  After the only owner he knew died and then he was marked to die as well, he deserves better!   Please consider giving this guy a new lease on life, and he will never let you down.

Ronin is neutered, up to date on vaccinations and micro-chipped.
