So it is true.  I may not have that fun spunk of a new puppy.  But that doesn’t mean I shouldn't have a loving home.    Even though I am considered a ‘senior’ I have so much love to provide  I would love someone who will let me call their home my final home.

* check out my video of the special characteristics that I do have :)

You see life has not been easy for me.   To land in a shelter at my age is not fun.  I am not sure what I did as I don’t even know, but my foster mom took a chance on me.   I arrived covered in ticks and had heartworm.   I guess I could say I wasn’t previously taken care of.   My foster  mom said no worries, here is a warm bed, a nice blanket and she even gives me so many special dinners.   After many days of treatment and getting the help I needed, I have really turned into a special guy.

My family has been working really hard with me on training and I have come so far.  I am now much more comfortable in the home.   I know sit and down on command and working with heal.  My human sister is working training me and we have so much fun together.  I have discovered toys and love to grab them when no one is watching and run like the wind with them.   Birds.....oh boy I love them.   They like to tease me from afar so I have learned to sneak up and poof, they fly away.  It is a fun game.  

When I came into rescue I did some quirks, but hey don’t we all?   I mean, it what makes us who we are.  But my mom wants me to tell people so they understand the transition will take time.


I am slow to trust new people.   I am doing much better if I meet the people outside first and it goes much better.
It appears I was probably an outside dog so I tend to mark the first few days but a belly band in hand I learned very quickly.  Now I know much better!
I was really over-excited, nervous when I first lived a house.   I would find some objects and, well, I would get overly excited with them.    Yea, certainly not at all proper manners, but it gave my mom some chuckles.  I would hear her go Levi, OMG not again.   I no longer do that either but my guess is I could relapse until I got comfortable again.
I live with dogs but do better with dogs either who don't want to play or who are not over-powering.   I have a dane sister who is like a bull in a china shop that I have to remind to leave alone. 


I really just am looking for a  place to lay my head.   I love going out and smelling all the great smells after winter and hearing all the birds around me.   I would love to go on a short stroll around the block.  I go in my kennel when my mom goes to work, but I do put up a little singing show before I actually see her leave so shared walls aren’t the best.   I am guessing by their sudden movements little children will bother me.  But I live with a 10 year old and I love waking her up in the morning and following her around on her adventures.
