PA Kennel License #5254Wags Rescue & ReferralSouthampton Pa 18966 Originated from ACCT KL 08313 Meet Fiddlewig, a Magnificent Mutt with Plenty of Personality Theres something extra special about a senior dog, and Fiddlewig is ready to show someone just how wonderful an older gentleman can be. At 10 years old, this Magnificent Mutt has already lived through more than his fair share of changes, and now he is hoping his next chapter will be the one where he finally gets to relax, feel safe, and be someone's beloved companion. Fiddlewig was pulled from a local shelter after being surrendered along with multiple other dogs from a hoarding situation. We don't know everything about his past, but we do know that his world was turned upside down when he arrived at the shelter. Understandably, Fiddlewig was a little grumbly at first. New places, new people, and so many changes can be a lot for any dog, especially one who has spent his life without the consistency every dog deserves. But heres the wonderful part: Fiddlewig is doing so much better now. Once he realized that the people around him were there to help, not hurt, his sweet personality started to peek through. He is settling in, learning the routine, and showing us that underneath that initial grumble is a pretty lovable guy who simply needed some time to decompress and feel comfortable. Fiddlewig is dog-friendly and enjoys having canine companions around. He doesn't need to be the life of the party, though. At his age, he has perfected the art of appreciating the finer things in life namely, a nice patch of sunshine and a comfortable couch. One of Fiddlewig's favorite pastimes is sunbathing in the yard. Give this handsome senior a little sunshine, and he is perfectly content to stretch out and soak up the rays. When hes finished enjoying the outdoors, he is more than happy to head inside and claim a cozy spot on the couch for a well-earned nap. Honestly, Fiddlewig may have figured out the perfect retirement plan. Fiddlewig does have a few preferences that his future family should understand. He is not a fan of being picked up, so his people will need to respect his boundaries and let him keep his feet firmly on the ground. We think that is a perfectly reasonable request. Fiddlewig would much rather walk over to you for attention than be scooped up, and were happy to let this distinguished gentleman make his own choices. He is also doing well with his house and crate training and continues to make progress as he settles into his new routine. Like any dog who has experienced a major life change, Fiddlewig will do best with a family that understands that trust takes time and that the little victories are worth celebrating. Fiddlewig may be 10, but don't let his age fool you he still has plenty of life, love, naps, sunshine, and couch time left to enjoy. He doesn't need a complicated life. He just needs a safe place to call home, a comfortable couch, some sunshine, and people who will appreciate him for exactly who he is. He may have started out a little grumbly, but Fiddlewig is proving that beneath those initial defenses is a sweet senior simply waiting for someone to give him the chance to feel secure. If you're looking for a laid-back, dog-friendly Magnificent Mutt who is happiest enjoying the sunshine, snoozing on the couch, and taking life at his own pace, Fiddlewig may be the wonderfully quirky old soul you've been waiting for.
