Ivy

Hi, I'm St Ives of Sploot (if you know you know!... and if you don't, my foster mom will be glad to explain my name when you come to meet me!). My friends (so basically everyone I meet) call me Ivy. At 12 years young, I am living proof that age is just a number. Even though I came into our care as a stray in a bit of rough shape, I am improving every day and having a real glow-up moment with the help of my foster family.

Foster mom says I'm literally as sweet and gentle as they come. She also says I've mastered the art of being the perfect dog, so people shouldn't overlook me because of my age. I bring all the best parts of a seasoned pup: a loving heart, great manners, an easy calming presence that makes me such a joy to have around, and not to mention I'm house trained and don't chew on things I shouldn't!

Ideal Home

I'm great around kids and people of any age. I get along with dogs (with slow intros of course), love car rides, and sleep through the night! My only ask is a house without many steps (or an adopter willing to make some easy modifications for me) so I can keep living my best life.

Ongoing Health

I do have some arthritis in my back legs, but don't worry, I don't let it stop me from loving life. My arthritis is super easy to manage with the daily med I love taking - because it means I get some peanut butter! I'm in great health otherwise.

Training & Support

I'm house trained and don't chew on things I shouldn't! I walk great on a leash and will even carry it to the door for you.
