At 11 years old, Debo was left behind at a Mississippi shelter and never claimed--but you'd never know it from his sweet, happy spirit. He greets everyone with a wagging tail and a desire to connect. Debo is the best of both worlds--an old soul with a playful side. He still enjoys a good run, lights up around people, and is happiest just being near his humans. He's house- and crate-trained, walks nicely on leash, and has done well with other dogs. When he's extra happy, he may get a little jumpy--just his way of showing excitement. Now in Massachusetts and ready for adoption, Debo is looking for a calm, adult-only home where he can enjoy his golden years surrounded by love and comfort. If you're ready to open your heart to a gentle, joyful senior, Debo is waiting. NO CATS for this boy - not even a question.
