At 12 years old, sweet Optimus has found himself in a place no senior dog should be - in a kennel, waiting. 😢 After a lifetime of loyalty, this gentle old man deserves to spend his golden years curled up in a warm, loving home, not behind shelter walls.
Optimus still has glimpses of puppy energy, happily wagging his tail when he sees a familiar face or gets a chance to trot in the yard. But more than anything, he loves the simple joys - long naps in the sun, quiet company, and a cozy bed to call his own. ☀️🛏️💛
He needs to be the only pet, but he's happy to share his love with older, respectful kids who understand the gentle needs of a senior dog.
Every day he waits, his hope flickers a little - but we know his person is out there. Maybe it's you. Maybe you're the one who sees past his age and into his heart. 🥹🐶
Adopt Optimus and show him that love doesn't have an age limit. He's been waiting long enough. Apply online at ahscares.org/adopt Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 58.0125 Age: 11yrs 10mths 1wks
