Update: Slime (I call him Sly because I just can't call him Slime) doesn't realize that he's a little different from other dogs. He only knows that toys are fun, treats are yummy, and being with a friend is the best. He has a neurological condition that causes his head to shake, but it doesn't keep him from enjoying life. He's a happy-go-lucky fellow who makes the most of his time outside and is always ready for fun. Sly reminds me of one of my own dogs that I adopted from ACCAS. Like Sly, she has a physical condition that makes her a little different, but also like Sly, she is super sweet and playful and has a heart of gold.

There's actually nothing slimy about Slime at all. He's a sweet, happy boy with a soft coat. He has a neurological condition that makes him shake his head. It made it hard for him to take a treat from my hand, but it didn't keep him from running, exploring, and having fun. It also didn't keep him from wagging his tail when I'd pet him. He's a sweetheart, and I hope someone will give him a chance (and a new name!).
