My story

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

Lazzi's basic bio is below, but we maintain more detailed information about each of our animals on our website, which is also always up to date with animals removed immediately once they are adopted. Please visit Lazzi's page on our site (https://www.muddypawsrescue.org/adoptable?dog=007997) to learn even more about Lazzi!

Additionally, please note that the breed listed for Lazzi is just our best guess based on the dog's physical features. We cannot make any guarantees about the accuracy of our guesses.

PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO VOLUME, WE ARE GENERALLY UNABLE TO RESPOND TO INQUIRIES MADE USING THE 'ASK ABOUT ME' BUTTON. Please reach out to us directly using the contact information on our website: www.muddypawsrescue.org.



Looking for a sleepy, snuggly senior? Meet Grandpa Lazzi. All this sweet, 12-year-old gentleman wants is a safe place to land, a lap to lay his head, and a couch to fart on. His old heart is full of love and loyalty, and he’ll always want to be by your side—whether it’s for a nap or, well, more naps. 

Lazzi is a unique soul who has a few special needs. He’s mostly deaf and blind; he'll bump into corners as he finds his way around—but on the plus side, he won't hear your neighbor's poorly behaved dog constantly barking next door! He’s also got some wobbly legs and arthritis. He is currently taking two medications twice a day for arthritic pain and anxiety, and his mobility tends to regress as the day goes on. Due to this, he currently takes one walk to the park a day in the morning—which he loves and will practically gallop on the way! Lazzi does show dog aggression on his walks, barking and pulling at any passing dogs. (A strong arm and treats to distract are needed.) Being an old guy, he does need frequent pee breaks but is more than content using his foster parents' small outdoor space for his comfort and everyone's convenience. A ground floor apartment or elevator building is necessary for his comfort, as is a single-dog home. 

After his morning romp, Lazzi's ideal day consists of sleeping, snuggles, and absent-mindedly licking the bare legs of his loved ones. He’s a sweet, lazy boy who loves nothing more than lounging on the couch next to you, making adorable old man grumbles and resting his grey-bearded muzzle on his white paws. When his eyes are open (a rarity), he won't let you out of his sight, following you from room to room. At night, he likes to pull his bed closer to yours, never wanting to be too far. Lazzi is very food motivated (but shows no food aggression) and will do anything for a Whimzee or carrot. (He loves carrots!) He is currently on a prescription diet to help manage his senior dog needs. 

If you’re looking for a lazy, loving companion who will make you laugh and melt your heart with his old man quirks, Lazzi is your guy. After being found outside an abandoned home, taken in by the NYCACC, and now being fostered through Muddy Paws, this old man is ready for a peaceful, loving home where he can spend his golden years in comfort and the security of knowing he won't be left behind.
