Story
Mr. P can best be described as a cat in a dog's body! He lives a simple life and enjoys finding a comfy corner to lay down in and watch the world go by. He likes to keep to himself, and as a senior pup he just wants a safe home to live out the rest of his golden years in.  Piki will co-exist with other dogs in the home once he gets to know them - he enjoys going for pack walks and watching his foster siblings run around. He is potty trained but still needs to use a belly band to avoid occasional marking, which is common for male dogs.  Mr. P has a collapsing trachea, so he would do best in a quiet home to not aggrevate his cough by barking. He has lameness in his back legs, causing him to occassionally stumble while walking. Despite his age, Piki has a pep in his step and will bring cat joy in dog form for many more years to come.  He is a part of Thrive's Forever Foster Program - Thrive will cover all age related medical care to keep your Forever Foster comfortable and thriving.  Piki has been with us waiting for his forever home since May 2023.  ##1781400##

Story
How this pet arrived: This pet was brought in by their previous owner 2/15/2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Hennesy is a shy and nervous dog who will need a patient and experienced adopter who can provide a calm, quiet environment. Hennesy does not do well with high-traffic areas or off-leash dog areas and should not be in a home with cats or small pets, as he has shown a tendency to chase them.In his time in our care, Hennesy has demonstrated both fearful and friendly behavior with staff, but he is sensitive to handling and often reacts to being touched or leashed, especially by people he is not familiar with. He does best with people he knows and can be slow to trust new people. When walked on a leash, he starts off calmly but may become nervous in unfamiliar environments, especially when seeing other dogs. Hennesy would do best in a home with minimal foot traffic and adopters who are familiar with fearful dogs or those with handling sensitivities. He is still building confidence with leashing and leash walking, so continued positive reinforcement and a calm approach will help him feel more secure. Adopters are highly encouraged to explore cooperative care and Fear Free veterinary and grooming practices to ensure Hennesy receives the gentlest care possible.Hennesy is not recommended for homes with children under 14, and he should not live with multiple children. He will thrive in an environment where his adopter is patient and understanding of his needs and can provide him with a structured and predictable routine. While he may need some time to adjust, Hennesy has the potential to build trust and become a loving companion in the right home.. At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed/neutered. This pet is now ready for their new home! Primary Color: Black Weight: 18.9 Age: 2yrs 0mths 2wks
