Howie's Story

Howie is a handsome 9-year-old gentleman with a heart as big as his personality. In one word? Amazing.<br/><br/>This special senior came to us when his previous family could no longer keep up with his medical care. Thanks to the incredible dedication of our veterinary team and staff, Howie’s diabetes is now in remission — something we are so proud of. Howie is happily in remission, but continued monitoring will be important to keep him feeling his best, as diabetes can sometimes require treatment again down the road.<br/><br/>Howie will do best with a family who can stay attentive to his health, keep him on a managed diet, and work with an established veterinarian. With consistency and care, he is doing beautifully and enjoying life to the fullest.<br/><br/>Howie is a total attention hog who wants to be wherever you are. He absolutely adores people, thrives on companionship, and if he thinks you’ve stopped petting too soon, he may offer a tiny reminder nip — just his funny, sweet way of asking for more love. He is affectionate, devoted, and full of personality.<br/><br/>Howie is a very special boy who means a great deal to us. He is looking for a home that will cherish him, stay mindful of his care, and love him for the wonderful companion he is — and in return, he will give you endless affection, loyalty, and heart.<br/><br/>Pet adoption sponsorship from Louis Cevigney. No-fee to adopt.
