My story

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

Meet Gandalf! Gandalf lived outside most of his life, terribly neglected by the people who were supposed to take care of him. Animal control officers seized Gandalf from the property, and now, this sweet senior is in the market for a great retirement home. Gandalf loves people and, despite some arthritis, still enjoys walks. Gandalf's foster says this old boy is as golden as they come. He is 10 years old and loves to curl up in tiny places and peacefully sleep most of the day. While Gandalf doesn't seem to particularly enjoy the company of other dogs, who can blame him? He spent his entire life isolated. But there isn't a human around that Gandalf doesn't want to love. He is a special, sweet boy who deserves to live like a king, which to Gandalf means plushy toys, cozy beds, and someone to love. Apply today to bring Gandalf home.



All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption. Please note that the listed location for this dog may not be accurate due to technical limitations of this database and we have transportation options available within 6 hours of NYC (so don't let location hold you back)!
