Meet Neo AKA: You don't need to see or hear the world to find joy in it Vibe Check: Explores the world via his nose, and loves every moment of it Fun Fact: Neo doesn't let pesky things like lack of vision or hearing slow him down.... well, unless he is doing walkies and he finds a super interesting smell that needs to be thoroughly investigated. He also enjoys a good play session with a stuffy toy or time with sensory toys like licky mats or peanut butter kongs. Rescue: Albert’s Dog Lounge Age: Senior (aged fine as wine) Weight: 10 lbs of pure charm Health Notes: Neo can't see and he is deaf, but is otherwise healthy. He could stand to gain a couple pounds though Current Residence: Madison, WI (there are lots of wonderful sniffs to sniff here! Can we go to some festivals this summer?) Activity Level: Low, though he loves a good sniffy walk and playtime with a stuffed toy Social Skills: Dogs Cats Older, respectful kids Sleep Style: Any dog bed he can find. Even if someone else is in it, he will cuddle right in there too. Dining Preferences: Puppy kibble, canned food and frozen beef patties.... he is trying to gain a little weight. Bark-O-Meter: 3/10 He will bark when he smells food or when he needs to go outside Shedding Meter: 1/10 Just a few sparkles here and there Fashion Sense: A corduroy jacket with leather elbow patches and a pipe (just for the aesthetic, he doesn't smoke) Signature Color: Navy blue Extras: Walk-Out Song: "Don't You Worry About a Thing" by Stevie Wonder Favorite Pastime: Sunny day naps on the deck and summertime sniffs in the yard Best Feature: his super soft fur Signature Move: Navigating the world around him through smell and touch Love Language: gentle pets, slow walks, and canine friends The Final Decree: Neo is a kind and friendly dog. Though he is blind and deaf, he "maps" his surroundings and finds his way around just fine. In summary: Neo is your best friend waiting to happen. He is laid back and happy, and is ready for an amazing final chapter.
