Meet Geppetto! This 13-pound Schnauzer mix may be a super senior, but he’s got plenty of spunk left in him! Geppetto was found as a stray, severely neglected, but is now on a journey to a better life, and he’s looking for a patient and understanding home to help him along the way.Geppetto is blind and takes time to trust new people, but beneath his tough exterior is a little gentleman who appreciates routine, tasty treats, and the simple joys of outdoor time. He enjoys exploring the backyard and going for walks, and while stairs can be tricky, he’s learning to navigate them with a little help.Geppetto prefers to keep his personal space and isn’t a fan of being picked up or handled, so he’ll do best with an experienced adopter who understands his boundaries. His foster has found creative ways to care for him (like using his favorite treats to help with his eye drops) and with time and patience, he can adjust to a loving home that respects his needs.Geppetto isn’t house-trained, but he does well with frequent outdoor breaks. He isn’t interested in other dogs, so he’d be fine as a solo pup or in a calm home with other independent pets.If you have a soft spot for senior dogs and the patience to let Geppetto be his unique self, he could be the special companion you’ve been looking for. Apply today to give this resilient little guy the safe and loving home he deserves! All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption.
