My story

Vader was adapted as a rescue as a puppy 9 years ago. He has been with only my family. My husband passed away last year and since I work long hours and have no one to help he spends most of his time shut in our basement while I’m away. This is unfair to him and makes me feel guilty about something I have no power to change. He needs a home with someone who has more time to spend with him. He would prefer to be an only dog. He doesn’t make messes or chew things or dig. He is food motivated. He tolerates chickens but has no patience for cats or squirrels. He has no food allergies or special food requirements. He eats Purina Dog Chow and any snacks or treats you are willing to offer. He really is a good dog. However, I am no longer a good pet mom, and his life would be better with someone who was.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Vader, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
