Curtis's Story

Hey friends, it’s me Curtis! I’m a 10-year-old, 10 lb Shih Tzu mix boy with a heart full of love and a zest for life! Here’s my story! I found myself at a local shelter, but Florida Coastal Cocker Rescue scooped me up, got me fixed up, and now I’m ready for my forever home! I’m a super sweet guy who gets along great with both dogs and cats—the more the merrier! I’m housebroken, did great in a crate, and I love going for walks. Honestly, I’d prefer to be outside enjoying the fresh air as much as possible because there’s just something magical about being outdoors! At night, I sleep on my dog bed right beside my human because being close to you is where I feel most at home. I can be cuddly sometimes, and I’m gentle and easygoing. I have no teeth, so treats really aren’t my thing. But don’t worry—I’m a great eater and I love my wet food watered down into a nice, easy-to-eat meal! I’m probably good with older, dog-savvy kids who understand how to be gentle with a sweet senior like me. Speaking of being a senior—adopting a senior dog like me means you get all the love without the puppy chaos! I’m calm, well-mannered, and I know what really matters in life: walks, fresh air, and quality time with my favorite person. Senior dogs have so much love left to give! If you’re looking for a calm, loving companion who enjoys the simple pleasures of life and will be grateful for every moment with you, I’m your guy! Visit www.floridacockerrescue.org to apply! ADOPTION FEE: $285
