Wonderful senior dog alert!!!!

Sweet Al is fostering in New England and has made himself right at home!

Al enjoys a good walk to sniff and say hello to all the neighbors - he’s very inquisitive and wants to be a part of the action - either in the community or at home where he enjoys listening in at story time with his 6-year-old human foster brother.

Al loves everyone he meets and especially seems to adore men; because of this we think he must have had a dog dad at some point in his life.

After a good leisurely walk, he likes to take a nap, and he finds the truly comfy spots inside and outdoors to rest and to still hear/be in on the action!

Al is very motivated to check out the bunnies, squirrels and other wildlife and therefore would most likely enjoy a fenced-in yard. He is estimated to be 10 years old and has a peppy walk and a smile that everyone finds endearing.

Al is very easygoing and truly a delight to spend time with - he will make a wonderful addition to any family. He would also really like it if someone is home most of the time as he prefers company and he definitely likes to ride in the car and accompany you into any stores, where allowed.

Here’s what we know of his backstory:

This sweet boy found himself in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by nothing but fields of grass. He had nowhere to go and clearly had no direction.

He landed on Facebook and a kind person decided he was worth saving (when so many didn’t) and went to find him - he brought him home and listed him everywhere he could think of as a lost dog, but no one responded.

As time went on, his rescuer decided he’d like to keep him, but his other dog decided that it was not going to be the case as he doesn’t like Al and it wasn’t really safe for this old man to stay there.

The community has contributed funds and he got all his vetting done - he was treated for heartworm, he’s had his vaccinations, he’s been neutered. He’s now relaxing and enjoying all that New England has to offer as he awaits his forever home!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - 

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and New England.  

Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.

Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.
