When you are odd-looking and your family surrenders you at 10 and a half years old, it is understandable for you to be confused.  After all, you gave them your life, loyalty and love and they gave up on you just because you have “ruined one too many rugs.”

It takes a lot of adjusting and Caesar is doing just that.

Caesar has one physical feature that makes him stand out— his “walrus” teeth.  Meaning, his two bottom teeth juts straight out of his mouth. According to his former family, every time they got his teeth cleaned, a tooth or two would be pulled out, causing his teeth to shift.

Although it is not painful for Caesar, he just looks like a walrus.

But his current foster family loves him and his walrus teeth. His foster mom, Kathleen Gioeli said, “When I first opened the car door, he was sitting in his dog bed nervously.”  She added, “He looked up at me, and I immediately fell in love with his ‘tusks.’ I called my sister (who is my roommate/foster partner) and told her that he had arrived and he resembled a walrus. We say he’s a walrus by day, fruit bat by night — his big eyes and teeth are all you can see at night.”

His foster family knows that buried under the unique physical appearance is a bubbly personality.  The signs are there — kind eyes, seeking affection from the people around him, getting along well with other dogs and eating his food up to the last bite.

Gioeli added, “He also enjoys sunning himself, snuggling in my bed as well as his own bed, being held and, lastly, going for car rides. However, I know there are many more layers to his sweet soul that he hasn’t felt comfortable sharing yet. He will get there eventually with love and time!”

We all hope Caesar gets to be adopted by a family who would go beyond the walrus teeth and love him for who he is.  Best of luck, Caesar!
