Senior Yorkshire Terrier Sam – on hold pending health check

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 18 years

19/10/26 – Today Sam had a fit, as such for the moment he is withdrawn from rehoming and will be stopping with his fosterer until we can be more certain of the prognosis. Senior Yorkshire Terrier Sam is a lovely boy who was born in January 2009. That makes him nearly 18 years old. He is a sweet old boy who knows exactly what he likes. Most of all, Sam wants a quiet and comfortable life. He is not looking for a home with other dogs. It is not because he dislikes them. He simply cannot be bothered with all the fuss. At his age, he would rather enjoy his own space and take life at a gentler pace. Despite his years, Sam still enjoys getting out for a walk. He still loves his walks. He takes everything in his stride and enjoys spending time outdoors. Sam is happiest curled up beside you. He loves a cosy bed, a warm lap and plenty of snuggles. He is a wonderful companion for anyone who enjoys quiet evenings and relaxed days. Sam is blind, but he manages remarkably well. He has adapted to life without sight and gets around with confidence once he knows his surroundings. He does not let blindness define him. What Sam needs now is a calm home where he can enjoy his retirement years. A peaceful routine, plenty of affection and a comfortable place to rest would suit him perfectly. He's going to be a heartbreaker but deserves the best in his later years.
