Meet Fettuccine

_________ B I O ______________  Name: Fettuccine  Size:  Large range: 61-100 lbs  Adoption Donation: $250 (applicable sales tax included)  Adoption fees may be paid by cash or check.   Other:  Neutered Male, Vaccinations current, Microchip, Older considerate children only   Fettucine is ready to be your best friend! ** Fettuccine was diagnosed with chronic cruciate ligament tears. This means prior to coming into rescue his CCLs had torn and surgery was not performed, as a result his knees were stabilized by scar tissue. Because of this there is some arthritis present and he will benefit from a joint supplement and likely daily pain medications.  ** The large masses on Fettuccine have been tested by the vet and the result was they were benign fatty masses. Because of their size it was not recommended to try and remove them as it would be an invasive surgery for a benign mass.   Foster Home Feedback  ** Older, considerate children only 2/26/2025 Foster Feedback:  This sweet gentleman has been such a lovely houseguest for the past few weeks. Fettuccine is calm, quiet, affectionate, low-energy, and has excellent manners. He's never had an accident or even attempted to chew anything in the house, and he is perfectly happy to nap at home while I'm at work all day. I can trust him loose in the house when I'm gone, and when I come home, he gives happy little hippy-hops, wags his tail, and, after following me around for a little bit, goes back to his comfy spot for another nap. Fettuccine has quite a few nicknames--while we mostly call him Fetty, we sometimes call him Fetty Spaghetti and Fetty Alfredo. He's very happy to meet new people, and he's done very well when we've had friends over for dinner. Fettuccine is the type of guy who wants to live a quiet lifestyle. He gets easily startled by strange noises, and he tends to get nervous in new situations or if there's a lot of socializing and noise going on. He doesn't bark; he just tucks his tail up tight, hangs his head, and looks scared. For this reason, I think that Fettuccine would do best in a calm, quiet household with older kids.  Fetty would be the perfect dog for someone who just wants an easy-going friend to watch TV with at the end of the work day. I think he would do well in an apartment, and he gets along well with both cats and other calm, respectful dogs. He does have some arthritis, but he's been thriving on his daily pain meds and can play fetch, jump up on the couch, or walk up the stairs easily.  We're happy to keep hosting this sweet boy, but we'll also be happy for him when he finds his forever family! They will be very lucky. Foster feedback 2/7/25: Are you looking for an older gentleman with excellent manners? Do you need a dog who would do well in an apartment? Look no further, Fettuccine is your guy! Fettuccine has never had a potty accident, and I have never heard him bark inside. He does cry when I leave for work, but it lasts only about 20 seconds and then back to his nap he goes. Fettuccine gets along well with other dogs. He doesn't bark at our neighbor's dogs unless they bark at him first.  Fettuccine is an older guy. However, I think he would be fine as an only dog or with a similar mellow dog that just wants to co-exist. My lazy, respectful basset hound has been a good match for him.  Fettuccine doesn't mind if he doesn't go for a walk every day as long as he can go outside to potty and sniff around for a while. He is good on his leash and good about coming when he is called. He likes toys when I give them to him and might even play fetch with you. Fettuccine likes to throw his soft toys in the air and catch them too! Fettuccine would thrive in a calm, mellow household where he can soak up attention and live out his golden years. He is a wonderful dog with lots of love to give.
