Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Mr. Higgiebottoms - Fostered in Las Vegas
Hello! My name is Mr. Higgiebottoms but that is much too formal for my friends. You can call me Higgie. I'm a sweet old dude who was adopted from the shelter at 4 years old and then turned back into the shelter 10 years later as a big hot mess. A Purposeful Rescue knows when there is some magic happening under that hot mess and made sure I got my ticket out of there! I got some much needed TLC which included a groom and full vetting (you should see how clean my dull chompers are now).
I am being fostered in Las Vegas which means you need to be able to travel there to meet me. I'm living with a houseful of other quirky retirees and I like to try and snuggle in bed with them. In general, I prefer the company of mellow dogs as I don't hear well and my vision is also a little cloudy so rambunctious dogs startle me. After losing my first family, I desperately want to be loved and to have a person. If you're looking for a new BFF, I can be that BFF!
