My name is JoJo, I am a 13 year old Sheltie/Corgi mix. My owner recently lost his wife and now has to move into a nursing home, so he can no longer look after me. I may be a senior but I still love going for walks and rides in the car. I do have some cataracts and hearing loss, like most seniors, but that doesn’t slow me down. I have lived with a cat, and I bark when meeting dogs, initially, due to my low vision. In my ideal home I’d be the only fur-baby, and have lots of attention and belly rubs, and a fenced back yard would be fabulous. I’m good alone for short periods, so maybe there’s a retired senior out there who would love some quiet company. Currently, JoJo is in NS but transportation could be arranged out of province. If you know of anyone interested in JoJo, please contact Lyn Thorne at elderdogstraitarea@gmail.com

My name is Harley, and I am a 9 year old Puggle mix. I’m told I’m a very happy dog with a good disposition. I’m healthy and neutered and my vaccinations are up to date. I love everybody although I will bark when you first come to the house. (It’s my job to let my people know when someone comes to the door). I do settle down quickly though and will enjoy your company. I get along with other dogs and kids are good, but I have never met a cat. Thunder and fireworks scare me but I’m easily comforted and like to be in my crate. I love going for walks and playing ball or Frisbee. I’m good left alone for short periods but may have to go peepee if left alone for too long. I’d love to have a home with older kids who would play with me or some active seniors. If you know anyone who would love for me to be part of their family, please get in touch with Lyn Thorne at elderdogstraitarea@gmail.com
