Is that a fluffy cloud or a dog? It’s Divot, a soft and curly Bichon boy. He may be a super senior, but this gent is peppy and enjoys walks and exploring, trotting around, tail wagging. He’ll be a great buddy for walks around the neighborhood, saying hi to friends and making new ones. Speaking of friendly, he’d do great in a home with other dogs or even cats!
Here’s a note from his foster!
Since Divot’s been through such a big change, he’s had a little bit of separation anxiety. It sometimes takes him a little while to settle down after being out, and he does whimper a bit until he fully lies down and rests his head. At night, Divot had struggled getting comfy in the doggy bed provided for him, so we plopped him into our bed and he goes down no problem and sleeps through the night.
Due to Divot’s kidney condition paired with the change in his living situation he may have had some regression in potty training. We’re working on this and he’s making progress and he seems most comfortable going in our backyard.
He really enjoys walks in our neighborhood. He is very friendly and curious about other people and especially other dogs. He is a smaller guy, but he definitely doesn’t shy away, bark, or get defensive meeting larger dogs.
Divot is a pretty agile guy. He’s been handling our front and back stairs like a champ but does slip sometimes, so we carry him when needed. He is able to hop up on our couch but doesn’t always stick the landing so he could benefit from a little dog staircase for indoors, and would probably do best in a ground floor living situation.
Overall he’s just a sweet little guy who loves being pet and cuddled on our couch. We think he’ll be happiest in his final days in a home with stable humans who are around most of the time, other dog friends, and easy access to a yard from him to get in and out for as many potty breaks and exploration trips as his little heart desires.
