Arf - Adoption Pending

My story

Meet Arf.... Arf is 14 years old and was the pride and joy of his family. Arf grew up with an older dog and lived with a cat. He, as a typical senior dog, would do best in a home with an older dog or calm, lower energy adult dog.  Arf has some separation anxiety and some regression in house training - but some of that could be due to the circumstances of his recent past.  His owner had been ill and not very mobile for the past year or two, so Arf was not getting regular walks and has had many kennel stays. He does not mind wearing a belly band for keeping indoor accidents from happening. He is happy to use his crate when his human can't be home but he doesn't require one as he is not destructive and just wants to hang out. Since in foster care, he is doing much better with his separation anxiety and now just barks to “talk” when his people get home and then he settles down. His foster reports that he loves walks, the small dog side of the dog park, and fetching tennis balls.  He also enjoys being petted and a good belly rub. He seems easy to train and follows commands readily. When he establishes trust he is loyal and loves being in the middle of whatever action (or relaxation) going on in the house.  Arf has been vetted and has a clean bill of health and all of his shots are up to date.    My adoption fee is $300, which covers the cost of routine vetting, rabies and distemper/parvo vaccinations, deworming, spay/neuter surgery, heartworm testing, my microchip, monthly heartworm prevention, monthly flea/tick prevention, and any transport costs if applicable.   If you can't adopt me, consider sponsoring my care and being a rescue angel.
