My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Gandalf! Gandalf lived outside most of his life, terribly neglected by the people who were supposed to take care of him. Animal control officers seized Gandalf from the property, and now, this sweet senior is looking for a cozy home with a kind human who appreciates the slower side of life. His arthritis makes it tough to climb stairs, but he loves my afternoon walks. He is 12 years old, mostly deaf, and his bladder isn't quite as strong as it used to be, so he occasionally leaks. But he has no problems with wearing belly bands. Gandalf loves people and his foster says this sweet boy is as golden as they come. He loves to curl up in tiny places and peacefully sleep most of the day. Gandalf doesn't seek out the company of other dogs, and he was not socialized during time in his previous "home," so he may be happiest as the only dog. But there isn't a human around that Gandalf doesn't want to love. 

Thanks to a $1,000 Senior Pet Adoption Grant from Petfinder Foundation, Gandalf's adoption fee and essentials like an orthopedic bed, joint supplements, and first health checkup are already covered. He'll be arriving prepped and pampered to his future home. He is a special, sweet boy who deserves to live like a king, which to Gandalf means plushy toys, cozy beds, and someone to love. Apply today to bring Gandalf home.
