Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Festus is a distinguished senior dog who, at a sprightly age, still enjoys the simpler pleasures of life—like a good nap and the company of friends both big and small. He's about 10 lbs of charm and has shed some extra weight recently, making him more sprightly than ever!
Having recently undergone a $1,200 dental treatment, Festus is back to enjoying solid kibble with gusto. We are currently accepting donations to help cover the costs of this necessary care, and any support would be greatly appreciated!
Festus is the epitome of a seasoned gentleman who values his independence and quiet time. He is fully potty trained and prefers to spend his days lounging and relaxing in peace. He cherishes his autonomy, and like any respectable old timer, chooses when and by whom he wants to be petted—often showing a preference for children.
However, due to his mature nature and the fact that he has one canine tooth left, Festus would be best suited in a home with older children who understand his need for personal space. He isn't fond of being picked up and will make his preferences clear!
When it comes to other pets, Festus shows a loving affinity for small dogs and has even befriended guinea pigs. He's generally tolerant of larger dogs but prefers those who are mild-mannered, as he isn’t shy about snapping if a larger dog invades his personal space.
It's important to note that Festus may be deaf, so getting his attention requires a gentle tap rather than calling his name. This little quirk simply adds to his unique character and means he’ll fit right into a patient and understanding family.
For those looking to add a chill, independent soul to their family, Festus’s adoption fee is $250. Bring this chill little dude into your home and heart, and enjoy the serene companionship that only a senior dog can offer.
If Festus sounds like the perfect match for your family, please reach out to us to learn more about how you can adopt him and possibly help with his recent medical care.
