Handsome Eringi is another of the “wild things” that often end up at ARK. More accurately, he’s one of six puppies that were born at a temple. Once out in the wild, he came to the shelter exactly seven years ago this month.
He and his siblings were all named after mushrooms, with the eringi mushroom being the edible sort that has an umami flavor when cooked. All of the pups were very shy and wary at first, but they all have gotten much better at trusting people and three have succeeded in finding wonderful homes.
