I must admit, my journey has been one of the strangest. I first became homeless back in August 2022, when I was impounded and taken to the Memphis Animal Services shelter. I spent about a month there before finding what I thought was my forever family. Despite being heartworm positive, I endured the treatment and went home with them. For around 2.5 years, I knew the comfort of a home until, sadly, I found myself homeless again. This time, I ended up at the West Memphis Animal Shelter. Even though I had a microchip, no one came looking for me.
Now, I’m on the hunt for a new family who will cherish a well-mannered, easygoing senior dog. Did I mention that I’m 8 years, 2 months, and five days old? But don’t let my age fool you—I’ve regained my youthful spirit and am known for listening exceptionally well. The staff here loves me, and I’m ready to show that love back to anyone willing to give me a chance. If you’re considering adopting an older gentleman who will love you unconditionally for the rest of my days, look no further—I’m your guy.
