About Virgil
Meet Virgil. Some dogs greet you with bouncing excitement. Virgil simply walks over, gently rests his head in your lap, and looks up at you with soulful hound eyes, quietly inviting connection. At around 8 years old, he embodies the calm and gentle spirit typical of a purebred American Foxhound, though we took him in as a stray. He came from a neighboring county Animal Control, where staff noted he kept his kennel remarkably clean. This suggests he may have once been house trained, though we can't guarantee it. Virgil is friendly with dogs and enjoys their company, making him a lovely addition to a family. Senior dogs like Virgil remind us to slow down and cherish the little moments in life. He seeks a cozy place to rest, a loving family, and companionship to share his golden years. This is not the dog for endless adventures; he values simplicity and affection. Virgil is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, on monthly flea and tick prevention, heartworm tested, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $200. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
