TWAIN HAS BEEN WITH US FOR 3,183 DAYS.
That's how long it took him to properly train us.
We now understand that dinner has a scheduled time. Treats have no scheduled time and should be available whenever Twain remembers they exist. Visitors require advance notice. His personal space is not a group project.
Twain is a seven-year-old terrier mix who first came to Zeus' Rescues in 2018. He spent nearly five years in a loving home before returning to us when his family could no longer keep him. He's been doing great at Freret, where staff have occasionally caught him relaxing. He denies it. We have witnesses.
Twain loves a routine. He loves treats more. Please don't bring up his girlish figure. He has worked hard on it, and he will accept another snack.
He takes time to warm up to new people, but once you're in, you're in. You get the goofy, fiercely loyal Twain who thinks his chosen humans hung the moon and stocked the treat jar.
His ideal home is calm, predictable, and staffed by someone who understands boundaries. A busy house with lots of people coming and going may not suit him. Small children who haven't learned about personal space are a definite no. Twain also needs to be the only pet: no dogs or cats. He has spent 3,183 days teaching grown adults to respect his space. He is not starting the curriculum over with a toddler, a dog, or a cat.
Twain is up to date on shots, heartworm negative, microchipped, dewormed, and accepting applications from qualified humans.
His references are us. We'll tell you he's difficult. We'll also tell you we love him.
