A few months back, Pluto was in a noisy pound in Connecticut where he'd been waiting almost a year. That wasn't right for an older dog, so we moved him to a foster home. Now, after some steady time soaking up home life, Pluto is ready to find a real family. Pluto is about 8, but don't think for a second he's slowing down. He likes his walks, gets a kick out of toys, and his ball is the best thing ever. He's happy with other dogs—ideally those that don’t mind a little extra enthusiasm. He likes kids but is better suited to those 10 and up since he’s strong when excited. Cats are likely a no, since Pluto gets very interested in smaller animals outside. He’s still catching up on the basics: learning the leash, working on house training, and picking up commands. He’ll need someone patient as he figures out home routines. He isn’t wild about the crate, though he’ll manage when necessary. Pluto wants to be with people—he’d do best if there’s someone around much of the day. If you appreciate the company of seniors and have space on your couch, Pluto’s a loyal companion looking to settle in. Born on July 2, Pluto is a Cancer, so it’s no surprise he loves family time.
