My personality

My story

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

Meet Galileo!

Galileo is the most classic 'good ole boy' you will ever meet. He is potty trained, walks well on leash, is quiet, loves his people, kennel trained, loves car rides, is happy spending all day on the couch even when left alone, and just has just enough puppy energy to give him that endearing personality everyone loves. While this boy may be 7 going on 70 that doesn't mean he won't keep you on your toes. Whether its casually passing you in the hallway with a counter he stole off the counter (without a hint of guilt, because why else would you have left it out if not for him?) or leaping over baby gates like a thoroughbred jumping horse, he loves to give you occasional reminders he will always be young at heart. That being said, once he has settled into a home, he happily spends majority of his day asleep on the couch or taking up space on the floor chewing his favorite Benebone. Outside of long walks this boy's favorite thing in the world is food! There isn't much he wouldn't do for a yummy treat (and don't worry he isn't very picky) and this old dog loves learning new tricks. He even has a fancy certificate from graduating a Basic Manners class!

Unfortunately, due to Galileo's age he does have some vision issues and stress related OCD. However, neither of these things seem to affect him after a couple weeks in a new home once he knows the layout and routine. Knowing these things, we would recommend Galileo go to a quiet home with a pretty solid routine to help him feel confident and safe.

I hope you have a big couch because this big couch potato will absolutely be claiming his own corner!

More about this rescue

Homeward Bound Waggin is an all volunteer animal rescue and transport organization. We pull animals slated to be euthanized in our rural area and then find no kill rescues in other parts of the country that can take them. We also make them available for adoption in a broader geographical area.
