Description

Sir ‘Gummy’ who makes every second about loving people when he’s never had anyone to cherish him- what a pure nature. Senior marsh mellow looking for his soulmate & an early retirement © My personality in my own words Are you looking for a tranquil, hopelessly affectionate kindred spirit to share an afternoon stroll on the local beach or a gentle amble through the town/ woodlands? Might we stop for a coffee in the dog friendly cafe and chat to neighbours & say hello to other doggies? Would you too on our return appreciate a Sunday roast and settling down to a cuddle on the sofa for watching ‘ski Sunday’ or ‘this is your life’? I can do a period drama if the females have control of the remote. I’m adaptable. Some of my friends and other needy rescues have already found homes with single women or men &/or families and couples & I want what they have. Don’t we all just want company and a purpose to get up? Leesa the charity owner met me for the first time in October of 26’ and what was there not to like? Despite being in a concrete room homeless & hopeless after being abandoned by my callous ‘owner’ I have only faith, tail wags & happiness in my expression. I don’t know that I’m fated to dying in here- that winter is fast on my heels and I won’t be able to regulate my body temperature. I have so much to give, so little to receive but when I look at you you’d think you were my queen & king. My existence is poor- my nature is rich with love & selflessness. I need so little and I’m pleased with even less. How then can this be my predicament? Leesa said I did nothing wrong. I was born in the wrong place and as a baby neglected and probably put on a chain or in a yard. They do the same with chihuahuas. It’s testimony to the aura and remarkable resolve that we animals keep that through it all my favourite thing on earth it’s you. I love humans, other dogs & I’ve been around cats with no issues. Alls I want is a corner and a bed and the occasional stroke. If you’ve more to offer that’s a bonus. What can I as a golden oldie bring you? Far more than you have perhaps considered. Leesa who I hope will be my saviour wrote this:- “The senior citizens of the canine world have just as much to offer as our elderly folk. They have been there, done that & written the book. Golden oldies do not require the day to day commitment of some dogs. If you’re at work they will curl up and wait for you to come home. If you’re there all day their company is invaluable, like the hearth in the house. When someone comes to take a younger dog these dogs are at the back of the cage dreaming about a fire to warm them, hearing a soft voice or feeling a gentle touch. When the people walk away and they’re left there in their loneliness, they’re dreaming about their special person taking them, to care for them in their dotage- kindness laughter, comfort and above all company. Care, comfort and company- the three magical c’s- don’t we all need that as we are getting older ?” So folks I’m a catch. I’ll charm my way into your heart quickly. I’ll greet you like my life depends upon it (which it does). I followed leesa around, she called me gummy because I do this affectionate gummy kiss on her hand while I jauntily potter next to her. I didn’t jump up though I’m a joyful presence. I’m so ecstatic to be away from my captor that this morsel of nothing is the closest I’ve had to a home. Have you really stopped to imagine how we can be this beautiful? Leesa is always blown away by our docile & gentle ways. I’m in the enclosure with a dog called ‘Sailor’ and I don’t bother him at all. Other dogs sense my goofy and kind soul. Anyway I’m an utter delight and if you’re one of those owners who are perhaps in your greater years but that doesn’t mean you want a toy dog then I’m your boy. I would also be suited to younger generations if you’ve a garden and not capable of longer walks or prefer lower maintenance pets but still want the interactions and enthusiasm. I guess I’m just an adorable all-rounder Choose me- PLEASE AND GIVE ME MY FIRST CHRISTMAS My history. As I didn’t have someone like you to cherish me there isn’t a great deal to say I was ignored, considered worthless, kept in a confined cold space & thrown stale bread. Leesa said I was probably chained. After a long existence of showing only loyalty & obedience I was one day thrown out like a screwed up beer can. I was confused, scared & hungry. Then when I was found I ended up here but my future is uncertain and I’m at risk More details including my ‘must-haves’ if applicable & the welfares responsible Veterinary checks Sex: male Age: around 9/10yrs Coat: smooth short Breed: Heinz 57 Size/weight: 17/18kg approximately EU passport so you can travel abroad with them on holidays pending the needs of a senior dog of course.
