About Howard

Howard is searching for a cozy bed and a loving home where he can enjoy the time he has left. At approximately 10-12 years old and weighing 93 lbs, he’s a gentle giant who loves short walks followed by long naps. Despite his age, Howard is easy to handle and has shown a calm demeanor when meeting other dogs, though a lower-energy companion would be ideal for him. This sweet senior came to the rescue as a stray and initially faced several health challenges, including severe skin, ear, and eye infections. Thankfully, he’s improving daily but may need ongoing care for his skin condition. Howard is incredibly affectionate and loves curling up on his bed. He has a unique charm, even if he’s a bit of a mess at the moment. His behavioral assessments have shown that he’s friendly and adaptable, and while he may need some extra tender care, he truly has a heart of gold. Can you give him the forever home he deserves?
