Fossa is a sweet, senior gentleman whose life took an unexpected turn when his owner lost their home. Now, he's on the lookout for a loving family who can offer the stability and comfort he truly deserves.
At first, Fossa can be a little anxious with new changes, but once he's settled into a routine, he becomes the most loyal and affectionate companion you could ask for. He's currently taking daily medication for anxiety, but we're optimistic that with a steady, calm environment, he can eventually be weaned off the medication.
One of Fossa's most endearing qualities is his love for stuffed animals. He often carries them on walks, gently holding them in his mouth like treasured friends. His charming personality makes him an ideal match for families with children, as he's sure to bring joy and warmth into any home.
Fossa would thrive in a household with a family who is committed to continuing his training and helping him build confidence. He's looking for a patient family who understands the unique needs of a senior dog. Though he's working on leash manners and managing some dog reactivity, Fossa is eager to learn and show just how wonderful he can be.
Though Fossa has developed some arthritis, he's on both oral medication and supplements to help him stay comfortable and keep moving smoothly. You'd never guess he's a senior dog – he still has plenty of pep in his step!
Fossa is not just looking for a place to stay – he wants a home where he can be loved, a soft bed to call his own, and a chance to spend his golden years surrounded by care and affection. If you're looking for a loyal and loving companion to complete your family, Fossa just might be the perfect match.
