Sweet old Horton's Story

This unbelievably loving, wonderfully sweet, snuggly old guy is Horton. When this boy came in everyone at the pounds heart just broke. So scruffy and cute, so small, and so sad and neglected. He was immediately scooped up by one of our foster homes as the kennels were no place for this gentle old soul, and he was fortunate to go to such a wonderful foster home where he’s gotten tons of love while he gets ready to find his forever home!<br/>The vets estimated him to be between 8-9 lbs. He’s only 7 lbs and just such a petite sweet little love. He immediately went to the vets and has since had all medical work completed. He’s current on vaccines, and deworming, he has heartworm tested negative, he’s been microchipped and neutered, and he has had a dental where he unfortunately needed his teeth to be extracted. He doesn’t let it home him back though! He loves his food, kibble, and he likes cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, you name it if it’s soft and yummy he loves it! His tongue is pretty much always hanging out to the side of his mouth and it will be like that always. He’s definitely an old guy, but he’s got pep in his step, a heart full of love waiting to be shared, and the vet said his medical work is officially completed and he’s now ready to begin his next chapter of living out his golden years with lots of warmth and love!<br/>Horton is an unbelievably easy, sweet senior gentleman. He’s super adorable with his scruff, and he’s just so small! He enjoys following his beloved people through the house and is a very easy going, devoted companion. He is excellent with all other dogs as well as cats! He wouldn’t and couldn’t hurt a fly. He’s been great about going potty outside and he’s an easy keeper, never getting into mischief. <br/>Horton can go with any combination of animals or none at all. His main goal is a home with parents who would love a devoted tiny little companion. His dream is a home where he will get to snuggle in the sofa with you and be your lap dog, as well as curl up and sleep in bed with you at night! <br/>We have no idea what his history is, but we know that he’s elderly and so very loving. Our heart breaks for him to have to go through so many transitions late in life, but we can’t wait until his angel comes along and scoops him up, giving him the best, most loving years of his life!<br/>If this wonderfully cute, sweet little guy has stolen your heart and you’d love to make him yours, please visit www.greatdivideanimalrescue.org/applicationdogs and submit an application for adoption today!!<br/><br/> **NOTE** to ensure prompt response- please go directly to our website (www.greatdivideanimalrescue.org) to apply, or email (inquiries.rescuematch@aol.com) directly with any questions to ensure your inquiry/application is received by our organization. Also, please always remember to check your spam email when working through an adoption process with any organization to ensure you always receive correspondence:)
