AN OLDER SWEETHEART: Approx. 15 years old / Approx. 53 lbs. & needs to lose quite a bit of weight Hi, my name is Boo! I had a loving home, but when my owner sadly passed away, a dear friend made sure I would be cared for and Mostly Mutts is helping her keep that promise. At first, I was a little stressed as my world had suddenly turned upside down, but I soon found comfort in a wonderful foster home where I'm surrounded by love. Now, I'm ready to find the cozy retirement home I deserve. Do you have room in your heart and home for a sweet senior pup like me? If so, I'd love to meet you and see if we're the perfect match. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I haven't met other dogs in my foster home, but my owner's friend said I did well with their three chihuahuas that I went on walks with. If you have a nice doggie at home that would like to share a home with an older guy, let's meet and see if we can be pals! / Cats unknown. / I haven't met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let's meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over or that may fall on me. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I'm a very sweet and gentle dog who has known a life of love and affection, and that's exactly what I hope for again. I am a social guy who is all about my people, I will quietly follow you around, happy just to be near you and keep you company. I've met some neighbors and was very polite with them. I do beg for food - likely why I'm overweight, so please don't give into that as I'm on a diet. / My energy level is 4-5. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I don't know any specific commands, and I'm not much of a barker - just enough to let you know when something's worth noticing and I do respond to the word 'no' when my foster lets me know I don't need to bark. I've never believed that older dogs can't learn new tricks, so I bet you could teach me some great doggie commands. / I have great house manners in my foster home, so there has been no need to crate me there. / My potty habits have been very good in my foster home, so hopefully that will be the case in my new home, too. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I enjoy nice, easy walks in the cooler part of the day where I can sniff the world at a slower pace, then come home to relax by your side, content just to share your company. I love affection, being petted and I show my love in the simplest, happiest ways - lots of tail wags and gentle hand kisses. / I did get a little upset tummy on my last car ride, but it was the first time that's ever happened, so hopefully it won't be something that happens again. Otherwise, I'm a sweet fellow who simply loves life, so I can't think of any dislikes, though I'm sure I wouldn't like it if I didn't get enough love, good care and attention. • MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I take a daily joint supplement that is good for all older dogs (Cosequin) to keep my joints feeling their best. The vet doesn't recommend a dental cleaning due to my age, but there are over the counter products to help with teeth cleaning that you may wish to use. I also have a small growth along the teeth on my lower jaw that the vet has checked out and it isn't causing me any trouble right now, but a vet may recommend removing it in the future if it changes or starts to bother me. My foster is helping me lose weight by feeding me unsalted green beans and unsalted carrots as part of my meal and for treats. No table food, so I'll want my new family to continue my weight loss. I am looking for a great home with a wonderful family to give me the love and care I deserve in my twilight years. My adoption fee is $100.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.
