TRISTAN
name changed to
FRANKIE BLUE EYES
upon arrival at his CODA foster home

(Tristan's Shelter Photo above)
Deaf Male Purebred Catahoula Leopard Dog

Tristan is a 6-8 month old Deaf Male Catahoula Leopard Dog
Tristan has the most mesmerizing blue eyes and is a very friendly and a normal, playful puppy
Tristan found himself in a high kill shelter in KY after his owners were threatening to shoot him
( probably because he wasn't listening to them- often a plight of deaf dogs who's owners haven't figured out they're deaf)

We were contacted by Simpson County KY Animal Shelter to help save Tristan's life.

Thanks to our wonderful CODA parents( to our adopted Great Dane Claire) for agreeing to foster Tristan to save his life

We were filled here at our main facility when the plea for help for Tristan arrived
So without the help of our wonderful foster homes dogs like Tristan would be dead instead of happily playing
and learning house manners

Thanks to Andrew ( Sara and Wizzard's new Dad) for driving Tristan from KY to
our main facility here in Cleveland Ohio while he was driving up to meet his new little darlings Sara Bella and Wizzard
It was a long ride for Tristan who isn't fond of riding in cars and also not found of being crated
An even longer ride for Andrew due to Tristan having issues on the way up:)

Tristan was very stressed out during his journey but relaxed almost instantly upon his arrival at CODA
Tristan immediately jumped out of his transport vehicle and started running and playing in the new CODA Dog Park
enjoying the newly fallen snow that arrived just in time for Tristan to have wonderful fun romping in the freshly fallen snow

Tristan is neutered and up to date on all his vaccinations
Tristan's neuter stitches will be removed the week of Dec 23rd
Tristan arrived very underweight but is eating well and should be up to his normal weight very soon



UPDATES ON TRISTAN aka FRANKIE BLUE EYES COMING SOON
UPDATE 12/23/07
Tristan's stitches from his neuter surgery were removed today and he has healed nicely
Tristan has gained a good amount of weight after just one week in his foster home
Tristan currently weighs 48 lbs and looks much better already
Tristan has learned his signs for the following commands in one short week in foster care
"Sit" , "Come", "No" and is working on learning " lay" or " down"
Tristans housebreaking skills are coming along nicely also
Tristan is non destructive when left out unattended in his foster home but loves to destroy his stuffy toys:)
