My story

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

NAME: Link

BREED: DSH

BIRTHDAY: May 2020

ADOPTION FEE: $75

Special Link and his friend Rhett hitched a ride with an old dog and escaped the southern shelter- both Rhett and Link had some medical issues that needed to be addressed, and we were happy to be able to provide the care they needed. Link is blind, but we quickly learned that his disability doesn't hinder him at all! The boys were living the good life in foster care before being adopted into a loving family with their PA friend Squeaks. There they grew into big handsome boys, and we truly thought they had found their forever home. However, when their human brother came along the trio found themselves in need of a new family: the new baby is allergic to cats.

Link has been the most brave and affectionate of the three boys since coming back to our rescue. He is happy to get attention but is understandably nervous about being picked up and put down (remember, he can't see!) However, he does jump up and down from things all by himself. Although we would love to see all three boys get adopted together, Link is pretty hardy and should do fine being separated from his brothers as long as someone is home more often than not to spend time with him. Working families should have a companion animal, or consider adopting all three cats together (our main goal is to keep Rhett and Squeaks in the same home.)

From the boys' former family:

Link is our black and white spunky boy, he was born without one eye and his other eye has sealed shut (he is not in pain and the vet says that he most likely cannot see anything out of it); however, this has not once stopped Link from causing shenanigans around our home. He will rub up against you to let you know he would like cuddles and snuggles and will sit right next to you when watching tv or a movie. He loves to snuggle up in a blanket or in the sun. We have rearranged the furniture a million times and not once has it bothered Link, he adapts and moves on. He is happiest with his crinkle toys and crinkle tube... and cups with straws beware, he will always find a way to get to them. He is microchipped, neutered, and fully vaccinated.

More about this rescue

Good Old Tails Senior Animal Rescue is a non-profit organization dedicated to saving the lives of senior dogs and cats in the Southern Pennsylvania/Northern Maryland areas.
We believe that senior animals deserve loving, caring homes where they will be taken care of the rest of their days.

Good Old Tails Senior Animal Rescue was founded in 2015 by a small group of animal lovers. Years of rescue showed us that the senior demographic in shelters is often the most overlooked and highly euthanized. These animals are discarded because of failing health, new pets in the family, a lack of time for attention and care, and countless other reasons which Good Old Tails finds deplorable. Pets are a commitment for life, not until they are an inconvenience. We are dedicated to saving as many senior dogs and cats as we can, and providing them with love and care so that they can live out the rest of their days with dignity and happiness. Some of these animals may never leave our rescue, and their foster families will be the ones to say the last good-bye. Others will go on to find families of their own. Whatever the outcome, we have made the promise to them that they will never again be alone.
