He is 11, but very healthy and the vet says he still has a lot of life in him. He is fine with children, but would thrive best in a home where he gets a lot of attention. He would be a good companion for an older adult. We are giving this dog away for free because the caregiver is no longer able to provide for the dog's needs. There is nothing wrong with the dog, he is kind and calm. Feel free to call to ask additional questions.
