My name is Channing!

This is the sweetest most loving 12 year old little boy named Channing! He loves cuddling and going for walks, and appears to be easily trainable.  He was left in the Carson shelter in a pen with several other dogs and was shut down and traumatized by all the noise and commotion, so it took him a couple of days to come out of his shell and warm up a little, but after a few weeks he has adjusted to his new foster surroundings and new people and has really blossomed.  He runs around with his other two foster brother dogs and, even though they are bigger, he still tries to play with them.  He also has 3 cat siblings more his size and he sleeps with them all on the couch when we are watching TV.  He knows phrases like, "wanna go outside?", "Let's go" and "It's time for bed."  He is pretty relaxed with the groomer and loves when I dress him up in his hoodie.

When he first came to me, he seemed to favor his right back leg, but that does not seem to be an issue anymore.  He has a daily walk with another dog and seems fine.  He is protective of his food and should be fed separately.  The vet also recently ordered prednisone to shring a pineal hernia to its current size.  He was neutered in October.  Would do well with a family but preferably with older kids, or an older couple or single person who would like a senior dog companion with a youthful personality and a lot of life left to live.
