Speedy Gonzales's Story

Meet Speedy Gonzales, a tender-hearted senior who has truly mastered the<br/>beauty of a quiet, slow-paced life. His fast-lane days are behind him, and he<br/>wouldn’t have it any other way. These days, he moves through the world at a<br/>gentler pace, fully embracing his role as a distinguished gentleman. While he’s pretty content<br/>to let the younger dogs do the chasing in his foster home, Speedy would be happiest having all the attention on him rather than sharing with other dogs in the house.<br/><br/>He is house-trained and follows a simple routine, briefly heading outside every<br/>few hours, and sometimes letting you know it’s time with a gentle stare at the<br/>door. If he waits at the door a little too long, he’ll release his signature little sound,<br/>that’s impossible not to smile at. He doesn’t need a crate and is perfectly well-<br/>mannered when left home alone. With just a few teeth left, he enjoys savoring<br/>wet food and thrives in a peaceful, predictable environment. This wise old soul no<br/>longer has a need to win awards or learn new or tricks, at this point in this life,<br/>the greatest accomplishment he desires, is to offers quiet devotion, gentle<br/>companionship, and the kind of love that settles deep into your heart.<br/>Speedy Gonzales would thrive in a calm, loving home where life moves slowly<br/>and softly. A peaceful household with respectful adults or older children would be<br/>ideal, especially since he doesn’t like to be startled due to his limited vision. He’d<br/>be perfectly happy sharing his space with mellow dogs or cats who enjoy quiet<br/>coexistence. Most of all, Speedy is looking for someone who cherishes slow<br/>mornings, cozy evenings, and the profound, unspoken bond that comes from<br/>loving a senior dog who wants nothing more than to rest faithfully by your side.<br/><br/><br/>Interested in adopting this dog? Visit our website (http://www.SecondCityCanineRescue.org) to fill out an application and to find out where this dog may be shown this weekend.<br/><br/>We love our dogs. We want happy lives for all of them and are looking for the home that provides the best fit for each dog’s individual needs. Please understand that there may be multiple families interested in this dog. <br/><br/>Also, please know that the breed mix listed is simply a guess. In most cases, we don’t know their background. We encourage you to base your decision on individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on our guess.<br/><br/>Please understand, we only adopt our animals out near the Chicagoland area. Questions? Email us at adoptions@sccrescue.org. Hope to see you become part of the SCCR family!
