DUNN

LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT DOG FOR RV TRAVELING OR JUST COMPANY FOR A RETIRED PERSON WHO'S FEELING A LITTLE LONELY?<br/><br/>This sweet old man is wanting to make your acquaintance. <br/><br/>We have shared photos of him pre and post professional grooming, so you canchoose your look. He did well with the groomer, so should pose no issue with you choosing your favorie hair style for him. <br/><br/>Dunn's back story is actually quite bittersweet.<br/><br/>He was found in a parked car, by police, after convenience store clerks called about an abandoned vehicle that had been sitting in their parking lot, for several days. <br/><br/>Turns out, Dunn was not alone. Unfortunately his deceased owner was found inside the car too and it was determined he had been deceased for at least three days. <br/><br/>Animal control found a microchip in Dunn, which indicated he had been adopted as a puppy from our local shelter in 2011. His original adopter had passed away too. The man in the car, was the original owners son. He was homeless and living with Dunn, out of his car for several years.<br/><br/>Needless to say, Dunn has led a challenging but interesting life that has left it's stamp on him but in his foster home he has proven he has an incredibly sweet, gentle, kind and cooperative side that makes him quite adorable and easy to be around, once he acclimates to his new situation. <br/><br/>We initially figured we would just pull the ole guy from the shelter setting he was living in and hating, so we could set him up in a sanctuary home where he could live out his remaining months in peace and quietude but Dunn has made it clear that he is nowhere near rocking chair status yet. He wants a loving home to retire in for sure but he has snuggle skills and life to bring to the party, and will reward his person, with his absolute charm, gentle nature and impossibly cute persona, for several more years to come. This breeds can and often does, live into it's twenties and after getting to know Dunn, we 100% believe, he will live to drinking age. <br/><br/>Interested adopters will have to have some experience, obviously, with senior dogs and the ability to embrace some senile behaviors plus we discovered during his first visit to our vet, that Dunn has heart problems and was started on heart meds (VetMedin, Enalapril and Furosemide). Adopters will go home with a couple months supply of his meds, to get them off to a good start. He has responded beautifully to these meds too and if someone could let him know about his heart condition, that would be great because he has yet to receive that memo or act like his heart should be holding him back. <br/><br/>He's had a recent dental too, which has made him a great deal more comfortable to say nothing of healthier.<br/><br/>Dunn is a great traveler and loves being in a car or truck, whether it is parked or moving. It is why we think he would love to RV travel with someone. Sitting in a vehicle is his happy place and once in, he immediately curls up and drifts off to happy slumber land or, will just stare out the window, taking it all in, pretending he can still see as well as he did ten years ago.<br/><br/>In his mind, his needs are simple. Give me a schedule. Stick to it and if possible, can I go with you, when you leave the house?<br/><br/>When first acclimating to a new environment, Dunn can get confused and anxious. This is not uncommon for dogs who have lost a great deal of their sight and hearing. They navigate by smell and surroundings so in a new home, we hope he would be given grace for the first week or two, to understand his new life situation.,<br/><br/>He IS housebroken, once he knows the lay of the land and the schedules but accidents should be expected, until he understands his new life situation. Doggy diapers can be sent with him, until he understands his new life circumstances, schedules and house exits.<br/><br/>We know he is old and living his final chapters but still....there is something very likable, charming and honorable about this old fella. <br/><br/>When he is sound asleep, his cute little face in peaceful in slumber and is heart melting. When he is awake, his calm and gentle but happy personality is infectious. When you think of his life, you can't help but feel a certain amount of respect for his tenacity, resilience and ability to still give his heart. <br/><br/>That he wants to enjoy humans and go for rides and leisure walks, shows his love of life and his desire to live it. He is not ready to hang up his life's leash just yet. <br/><br/>It is our hope he will catch the eye of a compassionate soul, wanting to open their hearts to a senior who has earned, through life experience and resilience, the end of life chapters, he deserves. <br/><br/><br/>If you can honor this boys life with a final resting place, we hope you will contact us. There is no adoption fee, to a qualified home.<br/><br/>You can apply to meet him at www.allmuttsgreatandsmall.org/adoption<br/><br/>unn is neutered, microchipped, up to date on five way, Bordatella and rabies vaccines, is fecal tested clean of intestinal parasites and flea/tick free. He will come with a good supply of heart meds, to get you started and a few belly bands (boy diapers) for those first few rough days of transition plus he has had a complete dental and will most likely not be needing another.<br/><br/>PLEASE NOTE*:<br/>PLEASE NOTE*:<br/><br/>*We require notes from certified doctors when<br/>requesting a dog as an ESA<br/>*Inquiries submitted through Petfinder, are not the<br/>same as applications submitted through our webpage.<br/>*Yes we do out of state adoptions.<br/>*No, we do not transport.
