My story

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

Hi there! I'm Wicket, a gentle senior dog with a face that looks a bit like an Ewok (that's where I got my name!). My journey's been a long one, and you can see it in my soft, gray eyes. I came to the shelter with some serious mats in my fur, but they gave me a fresh haircut right away, and now I'm letting my skin heal and breathe.

I may be older, but I still enjoy short strolls where I can sniff and explore. I'm a big fan of snacks and an even bigger fan of naps-especially when there's a cozy bed involved. My favorite thing, though, is just being close to people who care about me. I'm ready to spend my golden years in a quiet, loving home where I can rest and snore peacefully. Could that be with you?
