Gimpy

Description

This is Gimpy. He has successfully undergone surgery to remove that heavy growth (he was dropped off the shelter with it), and he is feeling lighter than ever. At 11–12 years old and just under 15 pounds, this resilient senior is officially in his "glow-up" era and looking for a forever home to celebrate his new lease on life. While the physical burden is gone, Gimpy’s recovery is a journey. Because he spent so long compensating for that growth, he hasn’t quite realized he can use that leg fully yet. He is looking for a patient home that understands that it will take some time for him to start using that leg, he's gone so long without using it. Aside from his physical therapy journey, Gimpy is the same charming gentleman we fell in love with. He is a pro lounger who has mastered the art of the afternoon nap, but he is also an explorer at heart; despite limited sight and hearing, his nose works overtime to sniff out new adventures. He is a social butterly who coexists peacefully with other dogs and would likely be just fine with feline friends. He is also house-trained and acts like a total pro as long as you keep a simple routine of going outside after naps and meals. Most importantly, he is low maintenance—no marathons or hiking required here, just a quick "business trip" outside and some quality couch time. Gimpy needs a quiet, loving environment where he can continue his rehabilitation. If you have a soft spot for seniors and the patience to help him rediscover his strength, he has a heart full of gratitude waiting for you.
