Meet Aggie – Your Sweet Senior Companion!
Hello! My name is Agnes, but my friends call me Aggie. I’m a sweet, gentle 10-year-old female German Shepherd mix with a silky black coat and adorable tan markings on my face, legs, and feet. I even have a black tongue, which might hint at a bit of Chow in my family tree. I currently weigh around 55 pounds, carrying a few extra pounds, but my foster mom is helping me shed them with some healthy routines.
Life changed for me recently when my beloved owner passed away. I miss her dearly, but I’ve settled in well with my foster family, especially enjoying the company of my foster brothers and, of course, my wonderful foster mom.
Despite my age, I’ve still got a playful spirit! I love playing chase and tug-of-war with my toys, and when I get excited, I make the silliest little grunting sounds—it’s my own unique version of a growl! I have a good amount of energy, loving to play twice a day, and I’m a polite walker on a leash, even if I take my time to smell everything.
I’m fully house-trained and prefer a cozy, gated area at night or when my foster mom is away. Crates aren’t really my thing, and I haven’t tried jumping on the sofa—probably because of my extra pudginess.
When it comes to mealtime, I’m a perfect lady. I have no food aggression, but I do eat separately from my foster brothers just to keep everyone happy. I especially love it when someone stays nearby while I eat—it makes me feel safe and loved.
I’m in good health and heartworm negative. I might have a bit of arthritis in my back legs, but I’m hopeful that shedding some extra weight will help me feel more comfortable. I’m also missing a few teeth, but it doesn’t slow me down one bit!
What do I adore the most? Attention! I’m as sweet as I am adorable, and my photos will show you just how cute I am.
I’m looking for a forever family who will cherish me in my golden years. I’d do best in a calm home with older children, as I’m not a fan of having my backend touched. If you’re searching for a loyal, relaxed, and playful companion who’s ready to fill your days with love, I might just be the perfect match.
Could you be the family to give me the best years of my life?
