Description

Dog Breed: Border Collie / German Shepherd Dog / Mixed. Meet Spec – the sweetest senior gentleman! He has the calmest, most even-keeled energy and an incredibly gentle soul. At 11 years old, he still enjoys his walks and playtime but is equally happy lounging beside you on a lazy afternoon. Living with two resident dogs, Spec fits in seamlessly—he's wonderfully passive, respectful of cues, and just wants to be everyone's friend. He’s also feline-approved, having peacefully lived with a cat in the past and passed his cat test with flying colors at Pet Haven. Spec’s favorite things include snuggling into piles of floofy blankets and soft pillows (fair warning: he will steal them all), finding the perfect sunny patch of grass to lounge in, and enjoying short, leisurely strolls around the neighborhood. He’s a big fan of couch cuddles and welcomes endless pets and ear scratches. As for treats, Spec has excellent taste—string cheese and small bits of peanut butter are his top-tier favorites. Spec is house trained and does great with having a room of his own while you're away, but he's not crate trained—and he’s made it clear he prefers it that way. He’s navigating some separation anxiety after the big change of losing his lifelong home, so he cannot live in a home with shared walls (no apartments/townhomes). As a senior pup, Spec does have some arthritis in his back legs and takes a daily pill to keep him comfortable. Spec presented with masses on his mouth and lips, which were partially debulked prior to entering our care. These masses have been diagnosed as cancerous but are currently localized to the oral region. Complete surgical removal would require partial jaw resection. Due to Spec’s age and the invasiveness of the procedure, Pet Haven has opted not to pursue this course of treatment. In light of these factors, Spec is being placed as a hospice adoption for a family to love and care for him as he lives out his golden years! Pet Haven is happy to discuss this care plan further with adopters! Spec is truly one of a kind. He’s the best boy, and he deserves the most loving companions to help him feel safe, cherished, and at peace in his golden years. If you’re looking for the best friend you could ever ask for, Spec is waiting for you. If you are interested in Spec, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - pethavenmn/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/ The adoption fee is $250. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, heartworm/Lyme test, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and Bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchip implant (including registration). Adoption fees INCLUDE a mandatory sales tax of 7.525%. Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. Due to post-adoption services provided, we prefer to adopt within a 150-mile radius of the Twin Cities. However, we will consider up to 250 miles if the foster agrees to travel requirements and staff approval.
