Hi, I'm Ice Pop!
About me:
My first decade of life was incredibly difficult. I spent most of my life confined to a cage, with very little human interaction, affection, or the chance to experience the world.My foster mama doesn't think I had ever been outside before coming into rescue. Sadly, because I didn't receive the medical care I needed, I am also completely deaf.But despite everything I've been through, I'm a quirky little guy who is slowly discovering that the world can be a safe and wonderful place - and that people can be kind.

Things I LOVE: Going for walks in my sling,having my own safe space - my kennel is my happy place and Wet food!

Things I DON'T LOVE:Being chased, Busy, high-traffic environments and Fast movements - they can be scary for me

My special request: I'm looking for a quiet, low-traffic retirement home with patient, gentle and loving people who understand that I've had a rough start and will need time to continue learning that life is safe.

My forever family will also need to continue supporting my skin and coat as they heal, as well as staying on top of my dental health. I may need a little extra care, but I promise I'm worth it.

Kennel trained: YES! My kennel is my safe space.
House trained: Not quite. I use pee pads sometimes and also wear belly bands.

Dogs: Yes!
Cats: Yes!
Children: No - too much energy for this little guy!

I may have spent my first ten years simply surviving. Now, I'm ready to spend my next chapter feeling safe, loved and spoiled.
