About Handsome

Handsome is a kind and resilient spirit who has faced some tough times. He arrived at PACC as a stray, having undergone surgery for a large rectal mass and two hernias. Thankfully, he has healed well and is now feeling much better. However, he does experience some fecal incontinence which requires regular bathroom breaks and care. Shelter life has been challenging for him, as he needs more frequent opportunities to go outside and a soft resting place. Despite his challenges, Handsome remains a friendly and gentle companion, winning over the hearts of everyone around him. He gets along well with other dogs and shows a love for people. He is looking for a foster, rescue, or adopter who can provide the comfort and attention he needs to thrive. In return, you’ll find a sweet and grateful friend.
