Dew is the sweetest senior “velcro dog” looking for his forever person. He came to rescue after his owner of 10+ years faced homelessness and made the heartbreaking decision to surrender him so he could have a better life. Now Dew is an eligible bachelor ready for love!
In addition to his "unique" looks including short little legs and a beefy head, Dew also has an award-winning personality. He is fully housebroken, calm, and spends most of his day snoozing (with a stream of snores and farts – it's very charming, we swear). He loves resting his big head on your lap and is a goofy, uncoordinated goofy boy who keeps his foster family laughing. He instantly befriends new people and adores any affection he can get.
Dew is great at loose-leash walking, which he likes pretty slow and short! He definitely isn't a cardio fan and prefers to be a couch pittie potato. While Dew is in a home with another dog, he has his own space and is looking for a home without other dogs as he gets stressed when they are around. He is fine to walk by them on the street with soft barks, but wants to be your one and only in the home.
One consideration is that Dew does not like being crated or contained in rooms by himself and will actively work to escape. We’ve found that he isn’t destructive when being left to roam though we do expect a transition period in his new home where he will require patience and understanding while adjusting to a new home and family. Dew’s ideal home would be a calm one with someone who maybe works from home or who can even bring Dew to work with them. He prefers to not be left alone for extended periods of time and will become anxious when he is. If you’re looking for a chill, quiet dog to keep you company while you’re on zoom all day (just like his foster mom), Dew could be the guy for you!
Dew has received a complete medical catchup and had a couple mast cell tumors removed. To prevent further mast cells from forming, it is recommended he remain on OTC Benedryl. Dew has a cataract in his right eye but has no vision troubles. He is currently on daily anxiety medication to help with his recent transitions which he takes very easily.
Dew is available for adoption through City of Elderly Love. He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. You can follow Dew’s foster family on Instagram at @adoptwithakila. Interested in meeting him? Visit cityofelderlylove.org to complete an online adoption questionnaire!
