Ting is an old man who doesn't act his age in any way except his complete refusal to learn anything new. He has some parital deafness. It doesn't stop him from hearing a cheese wrapper from a mile away, but that hearing is certainly selective when he doesn't feel like listening to you. Ting is an independent dude. He seems like he's been able to run free on a farm and do his own thing for awhile, so he's not really interested in dealing with his new confines. Crates? Yeah right. He's going to sing you an off-key song until you let him back out. He's confident and happy to handle himself, does well with other dogs and would probably be happy to have a companion to run around with. He just needs a soft place to land and spend his senior years enjoying the sunshine, warm grass, and a dozen tennis balls. Ting is available for foster to adopt while he awaits a dental.
