About Homer

Homer is a gentle soul looking for a special person who understands that the sweetest dogs sometimes need time to show their true selves. At approximately 10 years old, this timid little guy has been through a lot after losing both his humans in a tragic car crash. It’s a big change for him to process alone, and he deserves kindness and patience as he settles into a new life. Homer doesn’t require a hectic lifestyle. Instead, he needs consistent love, a comfortable bed, and a calm environment where he can feel safe. He's eager to learn to trust again, and there's something profoundly rewarding about helping a dog overcome its fears. Adopting Homer means giving him the same deep love he's known before, allowing his personality to shine through once he realizes he belongs. Homer gets along well with other dogs and children but does not do well with cats. He’s already neutered, house trained, and his vaccinations are up to date. We do require professional obedience training from a certified trainer for all adoptions. Could you be the safe place Homer has been waiting for? 🐾💙What are you waiting for? Apply today!
