Meet Ross!
Ross (A565962) is the oldest dog we have at the shelter: a super senior, 14 years old. He is also one of the sweetest and most energetic dogs here. His spirit, despite his age, remains strong. Ross loves being around people and will nudge and headbutt until he’s showered with affection. Ross is also facing a heartbreaking reality: His previous owner informed us he has cancer. And his owner had a chance to reclaim him, but has yet to come back to bring him home.
So Ross is here, alone, waiting and hoping to be seen. He was recently featured on the news, and was a total rockstar. We’re hoping someone will look past his age and his heartbreaking diagnosis, and just give him a warm and loving home for the rest of his life.
