My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

We call him ‘Old Man Saul’. Saul was found on the streets in Houston, malnourished, unsteady on his feet, dimming eyesight and so full of personality that he captivated us immediately! Saul appears to be around 12 or 13 years old.
Saul is independent, funny, always willing to eat and learning the joys of human companionship. He is very, very smart. Potty manners are impeccable (one slip in two months due to human error of timing). He can burrow and cover as well as any young IG. Saul enjoys being held and cuddled but doesn’t ask for attention. He is not the typical ‘Velcro’ IG.
Saul gets along with his foster siblings wonderfully, but he could be an only dog with just humans. He will likely need to be in a home with a low level of activity as he seems to be hard of hearing and has lost some visual acuity. He does well when confined, although he will bark to let you know he needs to go out.
There is a line in a country song by Tom T Hall that sums up senior IGs, and Saul in particular, “Old dogs care about you even when you make mistakes”.
The mistake here would be not giving Saul a chance to make your life better for having loved him.
