I am a Homeward Bound Alumni, through no fault of my own, my 1st adopters had me for 3yrs and had to bring me back after some major life changes. I waited a long time and then found an amazing man named Jim, we had a wonderful 5 months together, but Jim's health took a turn and he could no longer safely care for me, we were both heartbroken and so was our shelter teams. Here I am waiting for a wonderful person to come along, I do like to wander so a fenced yard is a must, my ideal person would maybe take me on a short walk, I am way past my marathon walking days, I love kids (over the age of 10yrs) and am very good with them, I like dogs from a far but I don't want to live with them. I am a big, sweet, goofy boy and love to wander around the yard with you, maybe while you do your yard work. My adoption fee is $150, Sponsored by Sarah and Adam. Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: White Weight: 82lbs Age: 8yrs 2mths 3wks Animal has been Neutered
