The best chance of being selected is to write about yourself when prompted, and wait to hear back. Phone calls and emails regarding the status of your application cannot always be prioritized.

Meet Vernon!

Vernon is 8 and a half years old, but you would never know it. He is a big ball of energy who is not quite ready to embrace the senior life. Vern enjoys going on hikes with his other doggy friends and loves being part of the action. He has been noted to get overly excited on regular walks when he sees other dogs. It can be difficult to get his attention because all he wants to do is go say hello. He may need someone who can manage this overexcitement or continue working on training to help him stay focused. Vernon loves to play with other dogs but can sometimes take it a bit too far, so he would benefit from someone willing to guide him and help him with boundaries.

Vern has lived with children and did an amazing job. He would be the perfect companion for someone who is retired or works from home, as he is a smart and adventurous guy who appreciates lots of enrichment, walks, and companionship.

Vernon is ready to find someone to spend his golden years with, and he cannot wait to meet you!
