Scuba

We think Scuba is about five years old. We adopted him a bit over a year ago, so we aren't sure exactly how old he is. He's about 24 pounds, neutered mixed-breed mutt. He doesn't have any major health problems - a bit of arthritis in his back legs, and he has some minor gum issues that we're hoping to resolve with a deep cleaning by his vet in January. He is up-to-date on all vaccinations. He also has a spot at the Bone Adventure daycare and boarding in Costa Mesa, which has a three-month waitlist!

Scuba does great with kids of all ages and most other dogs. We don't know how he does with cats. He is a big cuddler and NOT super active or playful. He doesn't need a ton of walks and is fully house-trained. He would do best as a companion to a person or family who are home a lot and will let him cuddle up on the couch or in bed. He is extremely sweet and loving but also low-energy.

Scuba does best on carpet/rugs. We have hardwood with rugs, and he does okay on that, but he would struggle without the rugs around the house.
