Meet "Boo"

That's a beautiful dog. Looks like he even enjoys being the 'pillow'. What breed is he, Pen?

Very cool . . . always nice when an "old" dog or cat is given a second chance and a second life.

Sweet looking guy, pen.

Awesome he got a soft place to land

Well done Pen. Nice to see a old lad finding a kind home.

Beautiful dog pen, and it's great that you gave this old dog a place to relax and live with a family! I have two dogs that are family members as much as my own kids are! We rescue dogs and encourage others to do the same, if my house was bigger I'd have a lot more dogs I can tell you that!

how old is he? It is wonderful that he will adapt to a new home and that you have opened yours. Several breeds are one person dogs.

WOW ..at first i thought you took in a large wolf . Thats one big dog kids are gonna love 'em

I feed Ace Purina ONe Chicken and Rice mixed with Dogswell wet food. This comes in three flavors: Chicken, Lamb and Duck and two varieties: Vitality and Hip. In the dry, Chicken is the 1st ingredient. In the wet, there are no grains or fillers. Check it out, it's impressive. I had fed Ace the premium expensive stuff thinking it was best, but he began refusing it. The vet said that some dogs do just as well on the non-premium food and you will be able to tell from the dog's coat, eyes, and general demeanor if the food it working for him. Anyway, that's my two cents.

Good for you. Karma owes you one.

We always have given our older dogs Metacam.

I think about the sad end days for older dogs that need adoption- glad you could do it. I understand that isn't for everyone.

That's one great looking dog!

Pen, Nutram Natures Choice makes a Large Breed Senior kibble that works really good. As well, as Loon had mentioned, Metacam usually works really well with keeping the older dogs confortable and moving. Good luck.

Boo's brother?

Maybe a distant cousin from the wrong side of the tracks?

Edit: Beautiful cat by the way.

He's my best little buddy!

Some who don't know cats say they have no personality. Nothing could be further than the truth! My three each have a different attitude, Ine want to be loved all the time. One wants attention only on her terms and one will occasionally like to be near, maybe touching, but not on.

Mine has quite the personality, I really can't describe it but he does.

Pen,

Lovely looking dog - and he even looks content (already) in your home! Good for you for taking him in. Our current dog was only 9 weeks old and was going to be let out in the woods (no Humane Society) when our son 'rescued' her and brought her home in his pocket.

This summer, while spending time at our permanetly parked travel trailer in a campground, a motorhome pulled in next to us and they had 4 Samoyed's. They were all show dogs and were to appear in a competitions in the area. They & their owners camped next to us for 4 or 5 days - we never heard a single bark out of any of the dogs the whole time.

One morning the owners went out for breakfast and left all 4 dogs alone in the (expensive) motorhome. Within 10 minutes after the dogs were alone I swear it sounded like a bunch of teenage boys playing basketball - thump - thump - thump - all inside the motorhome - and, I swear, they 'talked' - not barked - to each other! It was so amusing and not disturbing at all. I think they had those treat balls and were rolling them around to get the treats out.

We loved their company - hope they come back again and camp next to us.

Beautiful, beautiful dogs.
