About This Dog for Adoption

Fossil's ideal home

Fossil is a charming 11-year-old dog who is looking for a quiet home where he can spend his golden years in comfort and peace. He is polite and friendly when meeting new people, and enjoys the company of calm, well-behaved dogs. However, Fossil would prefer to be the only dog in the household, as he likes his space and attention. We don’t know if he would be comfortable living with cats or small furries, and he would prefer to live in a home without young children due to his low-energy nature, but kids over 11 should be fine. Fossil loves to play fetch, so he’ll need a garden to enjoy this activity, but he’s also content to relax and watch the world go by.

Could you be Fossil's perfect match?

If you’re looking for a laid-back companion who is happy to spend time quietly with you, Fossil could be the perfect match. He’s content being left for up to 4 hours, making him a great option for those with a busy schedule who still want a loving dog by their side. He’ll thrive in a calm, quiet environment where he can enjoy short play sessions and plenty of downtime. Fossil might just be the loyal, gentle friend you've been looking for—ready to settle into a home where he can enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
