Story
Meet Speedy Gonzales, a tender-hearted senior who has truly mastered thebeauty of a quiet, slow-paced life. His fast-lane days are behind him, and hewouldn’t have it any other way. These days, he moves through the world at agentler pace, fully embracing his role as a distinguished gentleman. While he’s pretty content to let the younger dogs do the chasing in his foster home, Speedy would be happiest having all the attention on him rather than sharing with other dogs in the house.He is house-trained and follows a simple routine, briefly heading outside everyfew hours, and sometimes letting you know it’s time with a gentle stare at thedoor. If he waits at the door a little too long, he’ll release his signature little sound,that’s impossible not to smile at. He doesn’t need a crate and is perfectly well-mannered when left home alone. With just a few teeth left, he enjoys savoringwet food and thrives in a peaceful, predictable environment. This wise old soul nolonger has a need to win awards or learn new or tricks, at this point in this life,the greatest accomplishment he desires, is to offers quiet devotion, gentlecompanionship, and the kind of love that settles deep into your heart.Speedy Gonzales would thrive in a calm, loving home where life moves slowlyand softly. A peaceful household with respectful adults or older children would beideal, especially since he doesn’t like to be startled due to his limited vision. He’dbe perfectly happy sharing his space with mellow dogs or cats who enjoy quietcoexistence. Most of all, Speedy is looking for someone who cherishes slowmornings, cozy evenings, and the profound, unspoken bond that comes fromloving a senior dog who wants nothing more than to rest faithfully by your side.Interested in adopting this dog?
