FORREST's Story

Forrest – ID #18616 – Kennel #46<br/>Arrived April 29th as a stray – German Shepherd/Akita Mix – Tan & Black – Male – 10 years old – 81 lbs – Up to date on vaccines – Heartworm negative<br/><br/>Meet Forrest — a magnificent and deeply soulful tan and black German Shepherd and Akita mix with the warmest amber eyes and a gentle, dignified presence that is simply impossible not to fall in love with. This sweet old soul was found as a stray on April 29th with no one to come forward for him, and at 10 years old this extraordinary boy now waits in Kennel #46 for someone to give him the warm and loving home he so deeply deserves for whatever time he has left.<br/> <br/>Forrest knows sit, stay, down, and shake — four commands that speak volumes about the love and time someone once invested in him. He clearly had a person who cared for him deeply, and yet here he is, alone and waiting. That loyalty and training he carries with him every single day is a testament to the incredible dog he is and has always been, and he deserves a family who will honor that.<br/> <br/>At 10 years old Forrest is a senior gentleman who has lived a whole lifetime of quiet devotion, and every single remaining day of his golden years deserves to be spent in a soft and peaceful home with someone who will cherish every moment with him. He is heartworm negative and up to date on all of his vaccines — and due to his age he will not be neutered prior to adoption, meaning he is ready to go home right away to the person who chooses him.<br/> <br/>Senior dogs like Forrest are the most heartbreakingly overlooked animals in shelters, and yet those who open their hearts to a senior will tell you it is one of the most profoundly meaningful and deeply rewarding experiences of their lives. If you have room in your heart and your home for this magnificent old soul, please come meet Forrest in Kennel #46. He has so much love and dignity still to give — all he needs is someone to give him the chance to give it.<br/><br/>Note - all the listings on Friends of Shelter Animals for Cobb are done by volunteers.
