Chow Chow and Golden Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption in Onancock, Virginia

Hello my name is Iggy. I am a Chow/Golden retriever mix and I am a senior male at around 9 years old. I weigh in at around 40 pounds I am neutered and up to date on my vaccinations.
I have spent some extra time at the SPCA as I was positive for heartworms. I have completed that treatment and now I am looking for a home to rest my senior bones.
I do get along with other dogs. I am gentle and curious. Once I get to know you I am affectionate, and attentive. I am low maintenance, but enjoy and can benefit from the occasional brushing as I have a short to medium thick coat.
If you are looking for a calm quiet companion to watch tv with, and love for the rest of my life, I may be just the guy for you.
I may take a brief moment to warm up to strangers, but once I do it doesn't take long.
I do get along with other dogs but it is uncertain how I would do in a home with cats or other animals. I can be cat tested here at the shelter.
I have lived with children in the past so at this age older children in the home should be fine. I will most likely enjoy a calm quiet environment in my senior years.
