Seniors

Sooner

Age: 14
Date of arrival at Sanctuary: Jan 2023
Circumstances of arrival: Sooner and another resident, Bud, came to us when their owner entered hospice. They were originally bonded, and we’d hoped to keep them together. However, when other dogs are around, it changes the group dynamic and these two don’t get along anymore! Bud resides in our fragile resident room, but she is happier in a more active pack.
Love language: attention and affection
Adopter needs to know: She is kind-of bossy, but really likes meeting new dogs!
Personality: Sooner is excited about life and likes to play! She is good with other dogs and is very affectionate.
Vanessa says: She’s very sweet and she trots around like nothing in the world bothers her!

Current status: Adoptable
Estimated Year of Birth: 2013
Date of arrival at Sanctuary: Aug 2017
Circumstances of arrival: surrendered when his human mom needed to stay at a women’s shelter.
Love language: kisses and jumping in his crate (which is on top of another crate!).
Adopter needs to know: He is not fond of getting his nails cut, but he will let us do it if we hold him and he gives us kisses.
Personality: playful and loving
Vanessa says: He prefers to jump in his kennel to eat! He does a cute sideways walk when you go to pet him. He gets along with all the dogs in the room, and if a new pup comes in, he goes and introduces himself then runs off to go back to the bed. He is good with kids too!
