Story
Adopted him from a local rescue organization when he was just a year or two old, and hes been a cherished member of the family for the past 11 years. Unfortunately life has changed for our family in unforseen ways and it has become impossible to give him the love and attention he needs. Despite being older, he still has a spring in his step and enjoys one short walk per day to stretch his legs and explore his surroundings. One of the things that makes Speck so special is his balanced personality. While he loves his daily walks and spending time outdoors, he also values his quiet alone time. He's perfectly content curling up in his favorite spot and enjoying some peaceful moments to himself. But don't let his independent streak fool you, Speck also adores cuddle time and never passes up the opportunity for some affectionate snuggles. In describing Speck, I would use adjectives like gentle, resilient, and incredibly loving. Despite his age, he still has so much love to give.
