He has no teeth left and is not currently taking any medications BUT that could change at any time. He should have an echocardiogram probably once every 10-12 months for the rest of his life (could be more, could be less depending on the severity of his conditions) which are currently $900-$1,500/visit. He's an established patient MedVet Cardiology in Salt Lake City, Utah.<br/><br/>PROSPECTIVE APPLICANTS MUST BE FINANCIALLY PREPARED. He is not insurable due to his age and number of pre-existing conditions. I'm not meaning to scare anyone off. My intention is to set Temperance and his adopter up for success.<br/><br/>Behavior wise, Temperance is the best old pupper. He loves to snuggle and is great with kids, assuming they are dog-saavy. He's a tiny boy and can get hurt easily. He rarely barks and is hard-of-hearing. He has cataracts and can't see well but he knows when you're near.<br/><br/>Applications can be completed at https://www.sadiessafehouse.org/adoptablepets<br/><br/>More information on our adoption process and policies can be found at https://www.sadiessafehouse.org/adoptionpolicies
