🐾 Meet Old Man – A Survivor Looking for His Soft Landing 🐾

Old Man has been through more than any dog should ever endure. His past is mostly a mystery, but we do know this: his previous owner abandoned him in a rental property — locked inside with no food, water, or anyone to care for him. He was left to survive alone, resorting to eating pieces of a sofa cushion just to stay alive.

When animal control found him, he was in heartbreaking condition — matted, filthy fur, nails so overgrown they curled into his paw pads, severely underweight, and full of pain. But despite it all, Old Man didn’t give up.

Since arriving with us, he's had a warm bath, a much-needed nail trim, good meals, and loving hands to care for him. He's slowly started to trust again, especially lighting up when his favorite volunteer arrives each morning to take him for a walk and give him treats.

A vet visit revealed even more about his long-neglected health:
🩺 Lyme disease
🦻 Ear infection
🦴 Evidence of an old hip surgery

Why someone would pay for surgery and then abandon him, we’ll never understand. But we do know this: Old Man deserves better. And he’s finally ready for the loving retirement home he’s always deserved.

Here’s what you should know about Old Man:

✅ Dog- and cat-friendly

🚗 Rides well in the car

🪜 Can manage stairs slowly

💊 On medication for Lyme and ears, plus joint supplements

🧑‍⚕️ Will need continued geriatric care

Old Man is currently living in a foster home while our kennels are being renovated, so appointments are required to meet him.

📞 Call us at 276-236-8501 to schedule a visit or learn more about this resilient, sweet soul. Could you be the one to give Old Man the peaceful, loving home he’s waited for all his life?

Let’s give Old Man the soft place to land he’s fought so hard to find. ❤️
