My name is *Old Deuteronomy CATS -- HOSPICE!

**Update** we did not receive the biopsy results that we wanted to hear and unfortunately this amazing boy is joining our Sunset Club. The Dr. has given us an estimate of 4-6 months of quality life left. He needs an Angel hospice Adopter who will give him nothing but love and comfort for the time he has left and when the time comes the proper send off this prince deserves

Meet Old Deuteronomy, the wise and witty senior pup who's not letting age define him – because, as he'll tell you, it's just a number! At 10 years young and a dapper 7 lbs, Deut (pronounced Doot) is here to steal your heart and your warm blankets.

Currently on a binge-watching spree of Criminal Minds, Deut's the ultimate lap dog, recovering like a champ after having a mass removed and getting neutered. Biopsy results pending (see update above), but this trooper is ready for whatever comes his way.

Deut's a ladies' man in his foster home, charming the girls and leaving them in giggles – if only they could talk, right? He's curious about the outside cat but keeps it cool. Ideal for a home with older kids who understand the art of pet respect or a companion for a fellow senior looking for some seasoned snuggles.

With a touch of sass, Deuteronomy's got opinions – not a fan of the crate and vocal about his share of the dinner table. Potty trained with a bit of rain-related drama (who can blame him?), he's a calm, treat-loving gentleman.

Ready for some wisdom and charm in your life? Old Deuteronomy is your guy! Interested in adopting this fabulous furball? Shoot us an email at beourpet@gmail.com Let's make the golden years even brighter with Deut by your side! #AdoptDeut #AgeIsJustANumber #GoldenYearsWithDeut

Umbrella of Hope does not have any strict rules on ages of children because all children are different, but our best approximation is that this animal would do best with children over the age of 5

Umbrella of Hope is an all-volunteer, donation-run, non-profit animal rescue based out of Pittsburg, CA that rescues animals from local shelters, places them in private foster homes, provides them with needed medical care and then finds them new homes. 

Also, ask us about our seniors for seniors program, where we adopt animals 5 years or older to qualified homes with a $5 donation as an adoption fee. All animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, treated for parasites and given any additional treatments (dental work, bloodwork etc) as recommended by our vet. 

Adoptions to veterans of the US Armed Services are ALWAYS free to thank you for your service.  

We thank Well Pet Vet Clinic for providing most of our veterinary services and give a special thanks to volunteer photographers Tanya, Barbara, Kristy, Christine, Teressa and Natalie.  

We are on all social media at @umbrellaofhope and we invite you to follow us and share which helps more people see and adopt our pets.
