My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
I am a beautiful, low-maintenance, 14 year-old senior male looking for a quiet forever home. I have a fawn and white coat and weigh about 14 pounds.
I recently lost not just my human family but also my IG partner of more than 7 years. I am quiet unless there are other dogs to talk to. I do like the company of a pack, even though I am very independent—not a Velcro dog like many of my IG peers. And don’t let my age fool you because I’m in darn good shape! Stairs don’t bother me and even though I haven’t had a lot of recent experience with young children, the ones I have met seem OK. I sleep a lot, but when it’s time for my afternoon walk, I’m fully awake and full of energy and walk great and even run on a leash! I run anytime I can—I gotta keep the yard squirrel free! The vet said something about a heart murmur but that I don’t let that get me down.
I’ve only lost a few of my teeth but I still love food and have no restrictions, though I’ll let you know: I have a varied palate. A dog doesn’t get to be my age without tasting some of life’s finer flavors—of which I prefer chicken and cheese—and yes, even a little pasta if you don’t mind sharing. Life’s too short to eat the same thing all the time.
I know how use the doggie door, and when it rains I use the potty pads. I prefer my bed over my foster mom's but I will happily come in for a cuddle. As you can see, I’m pretty easy going and look forward to meeting you so you can take me home.
