Adopt a Shepherd

Serby is an 18 year old 74 pound Carolina breed dog. His best friend recently passed so Serby ended up in a shelter. That’s how Mr. Serby ended up with CAWS. He is such a precious and sweet little big man. He gives the best gentle kisses. He gets along great with males and females, big and small. He learned the dog door from day one. Serby is on pain meds for his arthritis and will benefit from losing 10 pounds or so; we will work on that slow but sure. Serby doesn’t have any other health issues, his eyes and hearing seem to be okay too. Serby is house and crate trained, can be trusted to be left out in the house. Serby’s ideal forever home wouldn’t crate him at this time of his life. We took Serby to a swim orientation at Dog Mode for which he passed with flying colors! He doesn’t even have to wear a life vest. But he does have to have the Dog Mode Water Handler Dave in the pool with him in case his back legs give out. After passing his swim orientation we’ll see about setting up swim therapy sessions to further aid in his arthritic legs.

Serby needs a home with no stairs or very minimal. He needs to be in a home with older children at this time of his life. A home with a fully fenced yard so he can just meander and take his time. Serby will be the best buddy you could ever ever ask for. He bonded with his foster mom really quick, so he'll idolize and cherish the person(s) who actually adopt him. This big little man just needs someone to follow around and lounge with, feed him, get him his meds and be sure he is able to get out for potty breaks. If you can provide this precious and unique soul a last forever place to hang his leash, please fill out an application and come meet him.
