My personality

My story

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

Through no fault of his own, 9-year-old Bordeaux is back at FAAS for his second long stay. It breaks our hearts to see him grow ever older in a kennel. He would so love to have a real forever home with his own comfortable bed and food bowl.

This sweet boy is well-mannered, never pulling on the leash unless he sees a small dog or other wee critter. (SQUIRREL!)

A senior who likes his peace and quiet, Bordeaux's ideal home has no small pets or toddlers.

An admirer has paid his adoption fee so you don't have to.

Bordeaux's foster dad says he's "a great senior dog who appreciates treats and a soft spot to nap!"
He also says Bordeaux:

"* is a very sweet gentleman and greets people gently. Once he knows you, he gives you plenty of kisses.
* Walks gently on leash--though he often decides where HE wants to walk.
* Loves to be near his human.
* Loves to nap outside in a sunny spot.
* Knows sit, shake, spin, down and rollover. He’s a very smart boy.
* Can be left alone uncrated in the house with no issues. He’s 100% house trained. No accidents."

Bordeaux would make a great work-at-home companion. He believes in power naps and short walks. His once-red-wine-hued coat is now turning a distinguished gray, but Bordeaux has lots of life left to live and love to give.

Come start your sweet adventure with Bordeaux by meeting him any afternoon but Monday at FAAS, 1590 Fortmann Way in Alameda, California.
