Little 5 lb Dooley came into UYR right before he was going to be euthanized at the shelter. He was surrendered by his owners, who had probably had him all the 10 years of his life, who said they, "didn't want him anymore". He was subsequently diagnosed with Chronic Bronchitis and once his medications were adjusted, he felt better and loved life. He was the sweetest, most affectionate little boy who loved his person ~ his foster parents adored him.

So did his forever mom who saw him on the computer at her home in Michigan and knew he was the one for her. She flew all the way to Florida to adopt this precious little bundle of joy. This is a testimony to the senior dogs - they still have so much love to give and receive - please don't turn away from them because of their age. We are so glad that his new mommy didn't do that..................

Here's what his new mom Ann said about Dooley shortly after her arrived in Michigan ..................

Well this little man Dooley has proven to be a class one traveler. He didn't whine or bark or get sick at the airports or with the flight. He sat in his carrier and was a little gentleman. He has checked the house out downstairs very well. During the day when he's in the house and not walking around the rooms, he rests by the dryer, so I put one of his beds down there for him. He is already attuned to me; when I'm getting ready to leave the house, he will go to his carrier and wait for me. We are going to a class for house-training. Sure hope it teaches him and me some good steps. He continuous to be a great friend and partner. Yes, he still sleeps with me and wants to sit with me when I sit down in my recliner. We are doing great together. Ann
