Dusty is arthritic, as many distinguished seniors are, but he still has spunk and a playful side when the mood strikes. He's not an active dog - he's more of a steady, relaxed presence - but he absolutely still enjoys life and engaging with his people.

He does well with other dogs with proper introductions and a good match. He seems to prefer pups smaller than himself. He can have some resource guarding tendencies, so supervision and thoughtful management are important, but he has been very manageable in foster care.

Dusty has been looking for a home for over 6 months already.

He doesn't need much - just a soft couch, a predictable routine, and someone who sees the beauty in a loyal senior companion.

If you've been considering opening your heart to an older dog, Dusty is ready to show you just how special that bond can be.
