Dr. Pepper

Dr. Pepper is a 10-year-old Lab mix who is looking for someone to give him a soft place to land.<br/><br/>Dr. Pepper came to the shelter after his owner passed away, and we think he's having a pretty hard time understanding how his whole world changed. Since arriving, he's been quiet and somewhat listless. He has a good appetite (which, as a Lab, is probably one thing he can still get excited about!), but not much else seems to bring him much joy right now.<br/><br/>He came in with other dogs and has been good with his canine companions. What Dr. Pepper really needs, though, is a person who is willing to give an older dog some time, patience, and a little grace.<br/><br/>We can't know exactly what he'll be like once he's out of the shelter and back in a home, but we suspect there's a lot more personality hiding underneath that sad face. Ten years old doesn't mean he's finished enjoying life—it just means he shouldn't have to spend his golden years in a shelter.<br/><br/>Dr. Pepper doesn't need an adventure-filled life or a perfect home. He needs a comfortable bed, a quiet place to decompress, someone to love him, and the chance to discover that life can still be good.<br/><br/>He's probably going to be one of the dogs who gets overlooked, but we're really hoping someone sees him. He deserves a soft place to land.
