Glory was surrendered to our partner in Texas last year after she was originally abandoned at a vet's office. She is a senior gal, likely in the 8-10 year range, though we can't be certain of her actual age. She has some vision loss but sees well enough to move easily from room to room and around the yard. She comes when called and wants nothing more than to sit on your lap. Glory loves to eat and mealtime is her absolute favourite. They say that you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but with Glory's food motivation, you just might! She currently sleeps in bed with her foster mom and is the first one to give gently kisses in the morning, signaling its time to get up. With her diminished vision, she is a bit cautious around new smells and environments. She does well in her foster's house with dogs ranging from 4lb to 190lb, except for one little fully blind Pomeranian who she will literally search out to tussle with. She is smart, affectionate, feisty and fun. She is a very sweet little senior pup!

Adoption fee: $450
