Swisher

If dogs could wonder how they ended up in rescue, we'd bet Swisher has a few questions of his own. This sweet senior gentleman was left behind by his owner, and honestly, we can't imagine why. He's everything you'd want in a companion: kind, easygoing, and grateful for every bit of attention he receives.<br/><br/>Since coming into care, Swisher has had the full VIP makeover. Bloodwork? Done. X-rays? Done. Vaccines? Current. Dental? Freshly cleaned and ready for smiles. Basically, he's as close to a "brand new" 8-10 year old dog as you're going to find.<br/><br/>Swisher is house-trained, rides beautifully in the car, and gets along well with other dogs. As for cats, we'd say he's cautiously optimistic. When a cat named Norman decided to investigate Swisher's face while he was trying to sleep, Swisher voiced his opinion about the interruption. Fair enough, honestly. Other than that, he paid very little attention to the cats around him.<br/><br/>What we love most about Swisher is how easy he is to be around. He's past the puppy chaos stage and fully embracing the joys of good naps, comfortable beds, leisurely rides, and spending time with his people.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a loyal companion who already knows how to be a good dog, Swisher is ready to show you just how sweet life with a senior can be.<br/><br/> Estimated age: 8-10 years<br/> House-trained<br/> Fully vetted and vaccinated<br/> Recently had a dental cleaning<br/> Good with dogs<br/> Rides great in the car<br/> Cat-tested (sleep-interruptions not appreciated)<br/><br/>Sometimes the very best dogs are the ones who have already learned what's important. Swisher is one of those dogs. <br/><br/>Breed guesses...purely guesses:<br/><br/>Beagle Pointer (especially English Pointer)<br/>*The coloration and body shape fit surprisingly well.<br/>*Would explain the extra height and weight.<br/><br/>Beagle Treeing Walker Coonhound<br/>*Would account for the longer legs and houndy appearance.<br/>*Though I'd expect slightly larger ears.<br/><br/>Beagle Brittany<br/>*The liver-and-white coat pattern screams Brittany to me.<br/>*Ears and softer facial features could come from the Beagle side.<br/><br/>Mostly Beagle, just oversized<br/>*Every now and then you meet a Beagle that clearly didn't read the breed standard.<br/><br/>Also, completely unrelated to breed identification: that face is absolute "retired middle-school principal who just wants a nap and a snack" energy. The gray on the muzzle, the patient expression, the slightly judgmental look at the camera... he looks exactly like the kind of dog who rides quietly in the car, sighs heavily before lying down, and has very strong opinions about being disturbed while sleeping by a cat named Norman. <br/><br/>Courtesy Listing: Swisher is currently in the care of a veterinary clinic that is assisting with his placement. All adoption inquiries will be handled directly by the clinic.
