Story
Meet Donny!
12-year-old Donny was entrusted to our care after his dad passed away, and no one in the extended family could keep him. Donny is a very sweet and gentle boy, who is good with other dogs and cats. He enjoys the simple pleasures of life including a good meal, naps on a cool floor, and ear scratches. If you're looking for a loyal companion with a heart of gold, Donny is your guy!
Donny went on a two-week Frosted Fling to enjoy some extra TLC while we learned what he is like in a home setting.
Quick Facts About Donny:
Health: He's got a few bumps and cataracts, but that doesn't stop him from being a cuddle bug!
Diet: Wet food lover (Caesar brand, please!)
Living Situation: Loves being indoors, but enjoys his potty breaks every 6 hours
Personality:
Friendly with people and kids
Gets along with cats
Loves dog friends, he is in our biggest play group at FFF!
Meals: Enjoys his food in a separate room, and he's not a food fighter!
Potty Time: Mostly accident-free, just needs regular breaks
Exercise: Loves his walks around the neighborhood and naps on cool floors
Social Skills: A true gentleman with other animals and humans alike. He's even a protector of frail dogs!
Special Notes:
Donny has a bit of a startle reflex and might nip if woken up suddenly. He's just looking for a peaceful home where he can relax and feel safe.
Why Adopt Donny?
Donny is a mellow, loving senior dog who just wants to nap in the sun and enjoy life's simple pleasures. He's ready to share his golden years with a new family!
Donny went on a second Frosted Fling and earned rave reviews from his Fling Mom:
"Donny is a great dog. Easy to be with, not demanding, no separation issues. He is house-trained, too. Donny is easy peazy!
Donny is definitely not a needy dog, and he LOVES his walks! He is a great sleeper, yet knows when I change rooms because he just appears. When I come back home after being out, he is right there at the door. He is very excited to see me, which warms my heart!"
A volunteer recently took Donny on a special afternoon outing, so he could enjoy individual attention and a little time away from FFF. Afterwards, she shared:
"My husband and I took Donny out yesterday for an outing. We started out at a restaurant, Marinade, where he was very popular! I was a little apprehensive about children petting him, and generally receiving so much attention, but he seemed to absolutely love the attention from such a kind and beautiful family at the restaurant. He just flopped over to receive belly rubs.
One of the waitresses then asked us to meet him because, apparently, people kept on opening the back door to get a glimpse of him. Who can blame them? That teddy bear face is quite irresistible!
Donny then got a pup cup, which gave him an adorable little mustache, while we drove to Dos Picos Park. He was such a joy to walk around. He'd go on energetic walking spurts before flopping down on the grass for much deserved breaks and belly rubs.
I knew to expect a slightly aloof yet sweet and gentle dog, who seems to develop quite a bond with his humans. And somehow, Donny still surpassed those expectations. I was so overjoyed to see him handle so much attention so well, and my heart kind of broke when we had to bring him back, and he flopped down for some last belly rubs."
If loving and well-behaved Donny sounds like he could be your new best friend, please stop by to meet him between 10:00 and 3:00, Monday-Sunday.
