Story
Bash will be a wonderful friend to someone who can give him time. He is still skittish around people he does not recognize but will warm up to someone fairly quick. I am good with kids 10+. He did well with some shelter cats, but may not do well around house cats. I am in a few playgroups with female dogs. I am housetrained. I like to play in the dirt and dip my toes in the pool.

Story
At 11 years young, I may have a few more gray hairs, but let me tell you, my heart is bursting with love and a zest for life that`s hard to miss. Life has thrown me a curveball, and I found myself back at the shelter after my previous owners couldn`t care for me anymore. But I`m not letting that dampen my spirit, I`m ready for a fresh start and a forever home that`s filled with stability, love, and the care I truly deserve. One thing you`ll notice about me is my impeccable leash manners. If you are not in the mood to enjoy a stroll, that is okay. I am a great TV-watching man as well. I will enjoy my Lay-Z-Boy chair like an old man should and just lavish in your impeccable company. Come see me today and be impressed with the gentleman in front of you! I`ve got years of love to give, and I`m hoping to find a family who`ll appreciate the unique charm and wisdom that comes with age.
