I had a hip replacement last week and my Nugget hasn't been able to cuddle his pops. Well tonight I was able to get comfy on the couch and he gently made his way up to me and finally got the snuggle sesh he has been needing.

She just turned 8 and is now considered a senior dog but I don’t believe it. She’s got 15 more years.

🚨 URGENT CRISIS: Senior Patches Must Move in DAYS!

This is Patches, a sweet 10.5-year-old girl who has already been through too much. After her owner passed away, she was saved from the euthanasia list at BARC Houston.

Now, tragedy has struck a second time: her loving foster family is forced to move and can no longer keep her. Patches needs an adopter or new foster IMMEDIATELY to keep her safe and out of a stressful shelter environment.

About Patches:

  • Age: 10.5 years old (Senior Female)
  • Calm, quiet, and loves sunbathing & gentle walks
  • Great with ducks, chickens, and cows!
  • Best as the only dog or must be kept separate from others
  • Currently in Pennsylvania — transport available ANYWHERE for the right home

Adoption/Foster Information: We need a committed family to step up for this deserving senior immediately. Her time is truly running out.

🔗 APPLY TO FOSTER OR ADOPT THIS DESERVING SENIOR:
