My story

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

,Hi! I’m Pookie, or Pooks for short. Sometimes my foster mom also calls me Pookus but I am not sure why. I lost my family and home after my family was evicted in May 2024. I was very sad and confused and still don’t understand where my people are. I am getting pretty old and get confused sometimes, but I’m trying hard to adapt. I don’t see or hear too well but my foster mom helps me get around. Since I can’t hear, I’m a deep sleeper. My most favorite thing to do is eat. I love breakfast and dinner time. It’s usually when I perk up the most. I don’t mind new people or other dogs and appreciate having some space as I don’t get around so fast anymore. I am a very quiet girl and never bark. If you take me outside regularly, I’ll go potty outside. My foster mom has been keeping me on a good schedule and I’ve been doing such a good job. Occasionally I might still have an accident, but I try my hardest to do it on the potty pad. Most people who meet me laugh at my snaggle tooth because it’s pretty cute. I really would like to spend my retirement with someone with a slower paced life who can help me find some comfort in my old age. If there’s anyone looking to open their heart to helping a senior dog, I’m your girl!

My adoption fee of $300 includes up-to-date vaccinations, dewormer, and heartworm/flea prevention. Plus, a microchip that is already registered to you! What more could you ask for?
