Amicus is a distinguished senior gentleman (11 years young) who’s ready to trade shelter life for a calm, cozy retirement home full of long walks, good sniffs, and sunny windows to watch the world go by. He’s a big guy (100lbs) with an even bigger nose, sniffing is his superpower, and exploring the world at his own pace is his favorite pastime.
Amicus has a calm, steady demeanor and prefers soft, respectful affection. He enjoys gentle pets (especially booty rubs!), will happily lean in when he’s in the mood, and is also perfectly content just being near his people. He’ll politely move away when he needs space and may even sit and offer his paw yes, he knows sit and shake! He’s not a social butterfly, but once he warms up, his quiet companionship really shines.
He’s lived with other dogs before and can do well with dog-savvy companions who respect his space and boundaries. He enjoys having his own bubble and would thrive with other calm dogs or as your one-and-only. He may be a good fit for a home with respectful kids who understand gentle interactions.
Amicus loves long, meandering walks, sniff mats, bouncing balls (just watching, no playing!), and especially baby voices. Windows are a must, he’s a big fan of critter-watching. He does best with room to move and explore, as confined spaces can make him anxious.
Though he’s technically a senior, Amicus is really just a baby at heart, one who’s still decompressing and learning that good things are ahead. He’s looking for a patient, loving home that will let him settle in at his own pace and enjoy the simple joys of life. Amicus does have senior needs, like managing his arthritis and being on top of his joint supplement.
If you’re searching for a loyal companion who values presence over pressure and believes every walk is an adventure, Amicus might just be your perfect match.
