My story

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

Hello, my name is Sinclair. I`m looking for a family who understands older dogs and wants to provide me with a cozy retirement home. The staff are very much in love with me; they are always looking for ways to cheer me up or brighten my days (they worry that an old dog like me won`t get adopted for a while), but truly just spending time with them is all I need; they make me so happy and it is so nice to have friends. The staff started to notice some changes in me and asked a behavior consultant and our medical team to give me a good once-over. They found out that I was in pain (this old body just ain`t what it used to be). I`ve started pain management medicines and they`ve helped so much! I`ve got spring in my step, a smile on my face, and the excitement of a much younger me. My forever home will be all about me, from sunrise until sunset. No other animals to steal my thunder, no crazy kids to ache my bones, and no shortage of tasty treats. The staff here have been teaching this old dog new tricks! They`re teaching me how to crate train, walk gently on a leash, and so much more. My secret? I`ve been teaching these young whippersnappers some of my own tricks! I taught them how to see when I am in pain, I explained to them that sometimes I don`t want my food touched (but I`m good with communicating that politely), and even trained them to realize when I need a `couch potato` day to rest my body. They`re pretty smart, if I do say so myself. I love picking out new toys, snuggling on a cozy blanket or rug, and playing with my bone. If the staff could pick one word to describe me, it would be: happy. If I could pick one word to describe me, it would be: hopeful. I know my family is out there somewhere, willing to take an old man like me into their homes and hearts, despite my age and what it means. I know they are out there, because the staff promise me every day that my family will be here soon. And what I`ve learned after all these months, after all my lessons, exams, consults, and talks...my staff don`t give up and they don`t break any of their promises.


If this dog has been successful in our play groups it is not a guarantee that a dog will be social with other dogs in their home or in public settings. Dogs are individuals and have personality conflicts, just like us. Play groups do not guarantee that territorial or resource guarding issues will not surface in the home. While play groups do help us get to know the dog`s better, once they are adop
