This chunky boy is Gizzy!  He is 12 years old (almost 13!) and 12 pounds.  He came to us with Missy but they are not bonded.  Their owner no longer wanted them even though they had  many years of being loyal to her.  Both Missy and Gizzy desperately needed medical care and we were not going to let them suffer any longer. Gizzy had an ear infection that had been neglected for years so his ear is partially closed up.  We got him on medication to help with the infection and he is definitely feeling much better!   He also had a much needed dental with extractions and now his breath doesn't smell like rotton potatoes!  

Gizzy is a low key guy.  He is happy to just snooze the day away with occasionally trips outside to sniff out the yard for bit.  He also enjoys a good chewie too!  Gizzy is fine with other dogs and shows no interest in cats.  He is doing great with housetraining but there has been accidents, which is to be expected with any new dog in a new home.  He has a fully fenced yard in his foster home but also likes to go for walks.  He is crate trained too.  He has not been around kids in his foster home but we think 12+ would be good as long as they are respectful of him.   Gizzy is in good shape for his age - he can still do stairs and there is plenty of bounce in his step!  He does have a little hearing loss due to his neglect.  Gizzy has been on a good quality food here and has had more exercise so he is beginning to lose weight which is good.  He has a minor heart murmur but does not require any treatment for it at this point.  This little guy just needs a place to spend his golden years!  

Gizzy is neutered, up to date with vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated and tested neg. for heartworm.  His adoption fee is just $125 to help with his medical bills.
