Adoptable Dogs

Hera proves the point that adopting a senior can be life changing for both of you. 11 year old Hera came from the Manhattan shelter, seriously ill with pneumonia. She’s completely healthy now, loves to go out for walks wagging her tail as we go, is great on leash, will potty outside but will also use a wee wee pad, loves to be pet, and is gentle and friendly. We don’t know anything about Hera’s past but think it may not have been an easy life as she has a couple of bald spots on her hips, maybe from laying on a hard surface. Of course, now she’s grown accustomed to a soft plush bed and we wouldn’t have it any other way! We’ve noticed that Hera is extremely hard of hearing which means: 1)she’ll never be scared of storms, 2) she won’t care if you vacuum around her and 3) sudden loud noises will never bother her. In addition to enjoying her walks, Hera’s other favorite thing is a good long nap. At about 60 pounds, our American Staffy mix is so easy to be with, happy for attention paid but never demanding. Hera is, up to date with vaccinations, microchipped and ready to live her best life. To meet her, please complete this application. https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/POSH/Dog
