Weight: 30 pounds

Occupation: Professional Cuddle Buddy

Relationship Status: Active Single Senior Looking for Love

🐾 About Me: I may have a little gray around my muzzle—but I like to think it adds character. My handsome brindle coat gives me that “distinguished gentleman” look, but don’t let the silver fool you. I’ve still got plenty of pep in my paws! I’m a curious fellow who enjoys exploring new places and sniffing out every exciting adventure life has to offer.

Long walks? Count me in.

Playing tug-of-war? Absolutely.

Stuffed toys? The squeakier, the better.

After we’ve had our fun, I’m more than happy to curl up beside you for some quality cuddle time. I also have pretty good house manners, so I already know how to be a respectful roommate.

❤️ Ideal Match

I’m searching for someone who believes age is just a number and knows that the best companions come with a little life experience.

My perfect match:

• Loves daily walks and outdoor adventures.
• Enjoys a little playtime before relaxing on the couch.
• Has older children who understand my gentlemanly style.
• If there’s already another dog at home, let’s have a meet-and-greet first to make sure we’re a good fit.

✅ Green Flags

• Loves long walks.
• Expert-level cuddler.
• House-trained with good manners.
• Friendly, affectionate personality.
• Previously lived with another dog.
• Medium-sized and easy to love.
• Still active and playful despite being a senior.

😍 Turn-Ons

• Stuffed toys.
• Tug-of-war championships.
• Exploring new trails.
• Belly rubs.
• Cozy evenings after an adventure.

🚫 Deal Breakers

• Homes with very young children.
• Skipping our dog introduction if you already have a pup.
• Assuming “senior” means “slow.” Trust me—you’ll be trying to keep up!

🐶 Fun Fact

My frosted face isn’t a sign I’m slowing down—it’s proof I’ve mastered the art of being both adventurous and wise. Think of me as the canine version of fine wine.
