NANO *ARRIVING 3/9* - POODLE (UNKNOWN TYPE) / BORDER TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Poodle (unknown type) / Border Terrier / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 300. Nano is a super sweet older gentleman. He was adopted in 2011 and spent many years with his human. They passed away and the person who took over severely neglected him and he ended up back at the shelter in Texas. It is understandable he gets a little anxious and confused at times and paces. He calms down quickly with pets and reassurance. He will whine or go to the door when he needs to go out, he does need to go out frequently throughout the day due to his age. He is really good about wearing a belly band and most every morning it's dry. He enjoys going outside with his humans along side him. Don't let his age fool you he will get some spurts of energy and wants to play and run around. He is interested and wants to play with the other dogs in his foster home. He is looking for someone to just love on him and be his companion. He enjoys the companionship of both humans and other dogs. He is fairly quiet, only making noise when he needs to go outside or if left alone for over 3 hours. He would just prefer to always be with his humans! Will you be the one to help make this seniors years golden? Nano currently lives with small dogs and adults. He has not been introduced to cats. *This animal is a part of our “Seniors for Seniors” program where we offer senior adopters an opportunity to adopt an eligible pet at a discounted fee.* Adopting a senior dog is like getting a vintage car – it comes with character, a few extra quirks, and might need a bit more maintenance. Expect occasional tune ups at the vet for oil changes (aka meds), and embrace the fact that those 'normal lumps and bumps' are just part of the well-earned charm package! Ruff Start will share all known health information with adopters and recommendations to keep your senior dog in top shape. Nano is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 3/9/2024 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 5:30pm and 8:30pm. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame. Since they haven’t arrived yet, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start’s Foster to Adopt (FTA) Program. Click here to learn more about the FTA program. Once they get to Minnesota, they might require further veterinary care. Ruff Start’s veterinary suite is located in Princeton, MN, and, as the foster, you will be required to transport your dog to and from these vetting appointments. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.
