About Bing

Bing is practically perfect in every way. At 13 years old, he surprises everyone with bursts of energy, joyfully zooming around with younger dogs. His neighborhood watch duties are taken very seriously; he makes sure to announce the arrival of the UPS man and any visitors with his amusing vocalizations. Being near his people is what Bing loves most. He’s the sweetest cuddler and sleeps soundly in his crate, letting out a short, gentle holler when he wishes for company. Affectionate, gentle, and full of personality, he is a delight to have around. Bing is fully housetrained, walks well on a leash, and enjoys car rides. He’s just as happy strolling in the yard as he is relaxing at home, proving to be adaptable to both calm and slightly more active lifestyles. A big fan of food and sunny spots, he loves a good roll in the grass. Though he has an enlarged heart that doesn’t require medication for now, Bing's right eye needs daily drops for dry eye, but he’s great about it, especially when treats are involved. His playful antics can include fake departures to prolong the fun of going inside. If you're looking for a squeeze of pure canine sunshine in your life, Bing is waiting for you! Apply today!
