We're looking for a loving new home for Gee, a 10-year-old neutered Japanese Spitz.
Gee is a very friendly, outgoing dog who genuinely loves people and especially enjoys being around children. He's past the puppy stage and has a low-energy personality, making him a great companion for someone looking for a calmer dog. A couple of short walks each day and some time with his family are enough to keep him happy. His coat is beautiful and only requires weekly brushing to stay looking nice.
Gee came to us after my mother passed away. Taking him in felt like the right thing to do at the time, but he was not a dog we had originally planned on adding to our family. We want to find him a home where he can get the attention and consistency he deserves.
He is:
• 10 years old
• Neutered
• Up to date on vaccinations
• On flea and tick prevention
• Had a dental cleaning last year
• Had one eye removed last year and has adapted extremely well
We will gladly send him with his food, treats, and remaining flea and tick prevention. I would also be happy to help with dog sitting.
Our goal is simply to find a patient home where he can enjoy his senior years surrounded by people who will love him.
