Harold is 10+ years old and 13lbs. He is heart worm negative and up to date on vaccines.
Harold is a handsome gentleman who has has had a tough go of it. During his vetting we discovered that he has pituitary-dependent Cushing's Syndrome that require medications for the rest of his life. He has a vet appointment on 1/21 to remove his cherry eye and take care of his dental work.
Like any distinguished senior, Harold enjoys a relaxing daily schedule. If he keeps a schedule, he is very good with his house training habits and rarely has accidents. He is a very stylish dog and enjoys wearing his bow ties.
Harold is somewhat unique in the way he communicates with his people. Instead of barking he will whine and if he is particularly passionate about something, he will scream. While it is somewhat cute, it is also incredibly startling the first few times you hear it.
Harold enjoys a good nosh and loves his treats. He has a hearty appetite, which is what we want for senior dogs. If his new home has fur-siblings, he will need to be fed separately. He is such a good helper when it comes to cleaning the bowl that he will help finish his friend's food.
Harold is very inquisitive and enjoys sniffing around his yard. He is not leash trained but will walk next to you if you go for a jaunt. He has luxating patella's which slow him down but make no mistake, does not stop him. However, it does mean that he cannot do stairs on his own.
His ideal home would have a yard and one or more people that he could relax at home with. He would be the perfect companion for someone who works from home or is retired.
