About Albus

Albus is a senior Wirehaired Terrier whose life changed when his owner had to enter hospice care. Left without a home, he’s understandably a bit cranky due to his grief and a tooth issue. However, this dog truly enjoys human company and actively seeks out affection and pets. He thrives on trust and wants to settle close to someone he can depend on. Albus gets along with other dogs but prefers a calm companion, showing polite indifference to his canine peers. He would do best in an adult-only household or one with older children, as he can be a bit sassy at times. A quiet couple or single adult home, possibly with retired individuals, would be ideal for him. Albus walks eagerly on a leash and loves car rides, making him a fantastic sidekick. His long coat requires minimal grooming and will thrive with good nutrition and a stable environment. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
