Successfully rehomed by SPOT (Saving Pets One at a Time)

This boy is quite a find.

He came to us from a loving home when his owner's asthma became critical and the pets HAD to leave the home! Darwin has taken things in stride and has fit in with 'the gang' in his foster home. This is what his foster has to say about him: "What a pleasure this guy is! He has excellent house manners and loves to go for rides. He does not show any symptoms of his age, 9 y/o. He is a talker and a dedicated companion. He ignores the cats, and would sit in the truck ready to go for a ride all day if allowed. He loves to go walk-about in the neighborhood but comes readily when he's called. He has been a perfect gentleman to everyone including the young, unsocialized neighbor dogs." For anyone looking for a mature dog to share their life, Darwin is a treasurer! Stats:Akita x Black Lab, neutered male, current on specific vaccinations; parasite control, and micro-chipped.
