About Old Man

Old Man is a delightful companion who enjoys a relaxed lifestyle. With a few grey hairs framing his gentle face, he’s embraced his role as a lap dog. He isn’t keen on intense activities like running or hiking; instead, he thrives in a cozy home environment where he can receive head pats and a soft bed. Perfect for an older adult or couple, Old Man just wants love and comfort in his golden years. He arrived at us from a high-kill shelter, and now it’s his time to shine. Old Man gets along well with kids, dogs, and even cats. He’s fully vetted, altered, and comes with a GPS monitor and insurance to keep him safe and sound. Since all our animals are fostered in Alabama, transportation can be arranged to find his forever home. Ready to give Old Man the loving home he deserves? Click apply to start the adoption process.
