Remy is a small, male Havanese mix. Although he’s a senior, the clever boy enjoys life and keeps his energy up. He has lovely curly hair and is house trained, neutered, and vaccinated. Located in Philadelphia, PA, Remy has a special diet that consists of wet food due to past dental health issues. He would thrive in a quieter home with older kids and would love to share his space with other calm dogs. This affectionate and loyal companion is looking for a cozy spot to call his own.

About Remy

Meet Remy! This sweet Havanese mix joined City of Elderly Love after spending time as a little stray. When he arrived, he was in rough shape with severe dental issues and crusted eyes. Thanks to some vet care, baths, and a lot of love, he's transformed into a vibrant companion ready for a loving home. Though Remy is a senior with some signs of age, he still has plenty of energy. Primarily deaf, he looks to his humans for cues and has even learned to signal when he needs to go out by scratching at the back door. He enjoys being near his people, often snuggling in his comfy dog bed, and loves a good butt scratch. One of his endearing quirks is licking only his foster dad's shoes. While he gets along well with calm dog siblings, he prefers to avoid bossy dogs. Remy doesn’t mind cats and has shown he can be friendly with kids, although a quieter home with older children would likely suit him better. He has a few special needs: a diet of wet food and soft treats due to past dental issues, along with thyroid medication and eye drops for chronic dryness. Remy promises to be a clever, low-key companion. If this sounds like the fit for you, click apply to start the adoption process!
