Dillon's Story

Dillon is eight years old and is located near Phoenix, Arizona.<br/><br/>Dillon&#39;s Wish List:<br/><br/><br/> <br/> Someone who will shower him with love.<br/> <br/> <br/> Cozy strolls around the neighborhood where he can sniff the news at his own pace.<br/> <br/> <br/> Car rides and fun outings around town.<br/> <br/> <br/> He&#39;d love to be your patio buddy or brewery sidekick, politely people-watching together.<br/> <br/> <br/> A collection of plush beds and squeaky toys so he can nap like royalty and play like he&#39;s still young at heart.<br/> <br/> <br/> A home without too many stairs to conquer.<br/> <br/> <br/> Someone who works outside the home is totally fine with him; he&#39;s a peaceful, trustworthy solo napper who will be snoozing when you get back.<br/> <br/><br/><br/>Meet Dillon, a gentleman who embodies all the best bits about adopting a senior dog. He&#39;s the kind of companion who greets every visitor with a polite hello sniff, happy to make new friends without ever overwhelming them. Dillon doesn&#39;t play favorites, he loves everyone! He&#39;s equally kind with other dogs, sharing toys, waiting patiently for treats, and even barking just to ask them to play. Around children, he&#39;s relaxed and devoted, following them from room to room and choosing to rest wherever they are. His calm nature and love of companionship make him feel like he&#39;s always been part of the family.<br/><br/>Dillon is the definition of low maintenance. He&#39;s fully housebroken, doesn&#39;t drool, and doesn&#39;t need a crate. He prefers a comfy dog bed over furniture. During meals, he shows his manners by going to his designated area and then awooing to let you know he&#39;s ready to be served. Like many seniors, Dillon moves at his own pace and his walk speed is permanently set to &#34;stroll&#34;. He does have some arthritis but the symptoms are managed well with pain meds and joint supplements. He needs a little help getting into cars but he loves to co-pilot on rides.<br/><br/>One of Dillon&#39;s most endearing traits is his goofy personality - he&#39;s a bit of a clever treat bandit if given the chance. He may sneak into a purse, poke around a pantry, or discover that a drawer full of snacks can be opened with the right determination. It&#39;s a funny reminder that even senior dogs still have playful curiosity and moments of mischief.<br/><br/>Adopting a senior dog like Dillon means welcoming a companion who is easy to live with, full of quiet charm, and grateful for comfort and kindness. He&#39;s looking for someone who sees the beauty in the slower, gentler pace of older dogs. In return, he offers loyalty and love. Dillon is ready for a home where he can spend his golden years being cherished, and where his silly quirks and soft affection will make him feel like the heart of the household.<br/><br/>Keep checking our website for updates or submit an early application today.
