My story

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

Benji is a handsome senior poodle, approximately 9 years old, looking for a caring and loving foster-to-adopt home. He was a transfer from local animal control where he had been found as a stray. Surprisingly, no one reclaimed him.

We had him evaluated by our vet who found he has chronic dry eye (KCS). He is currently on 3 daily eye medications, which have helped immensely in clearing up his eyes and reducing the amount of discharge. Benji does have very limited vision and will bump into things at times if he is caught off guard. Benji is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations and testing. We have him on a low daily dose of gabapentin to help with discomfort we had been noticing. We believe it to be due to old age and/or arthritis.

Benji will take a little time to warm up to new people, but he is a lover once he is comfortable. He loves to give kisses and relax by your side. Can anyone give this sweet senior a chance?
