A little about them

Festus is a charming senior dog who enjoys naps, quiet time, and peaceful companionship. At about 10 pounds, he has recently lost weight and is more sprightly than ever.

Ideal Home

Festus is independent and prefers to choose when and by whom he is petted. He would do best with older children who understand his need for personal space, and he does not enjoy being picked up. He loves small dogs and has befriended guinea pigs; he can tolerate larger dogs when they are mild-mannered, but may snap if they invade his space.

Ongoing Health

Festus recently received a $1,200 dental treatment and is enjoying solid kibble again. He may be deaf, so a gentle tap is more effective than calling his name. Donations are being accepted to help cover his recent medical care.

Training & Support

Festus is fully potty trained and enjoys a calm, relaxed routine. He is a patient, independent senior companion for a family that will respect his boundaries.
