My story

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

This affectionate gentleman is part of a bonded pair with Olsa, who is most likely his daughter. They were left behind when the family moved away, and found themselves in our shelter, sad and confused. But they have each other and that seems to make all the difference!

Falcon is about nine years old and about 55 pounds. He is a sweet gentle soul who doesn’t wanna cause any trouble and does want to show his love and appreciation. He loves going on walks around the neighborhood but otherwise is just happy to hang out. The two of them are so easy that anybody who wants dogs that make few demands but are good company would be lucky to have these two. They are crate trained and love going on car rides as well and of course they are housebroken. They do great with other dogs and seemed scared when they met a cat!

Falcon is extremely shy when he first meets people so you need to give him a chance to warm up to you. But once he does, he will worship you and give you his absolute loyalty. They would be perfect for someone who just wants some dogs to hang around with that don’t require much.
