Shambles
was found right after the Johnson County Fair ended. He was
laying in the middle of the road, as if he were waiting for
someone. And not just on any old road either—it
was I-380! The truck driver who rescued him was on his way to
Iowa City. The moment the truck stopped, Shambles disappeared.
At the time, he had severe infections in both eyes and ears.
After
a bit of wandering, Shambles found his way to Lammers Construction
Service and somehow managed to crawl through the cat door! Ironically
this was a smart move. In 2004, the Lammers’ shop cats
were honored
with the JCHS Shop Cats Extraordinaire Humane Award.
Now
that his eyes and ears are healed, Shambles is ready for his
forever home. He really likes sleeping with his new caregivers,
but he does tend to snore. He’s very social, smart, and
responds to a number of voice commands. He’s more active
than cuddly, doesn’t seem to know much about toys, and
more submissive than dominant. Shambles does not hassle cats
and has shown no signs of aggressive behavior toward other dogs
or humans.
Shambles
wants a secure fenced-in yard.
