Kevin

Meet Kevin!

This gorgeous senior Kelpie boy is looking for a kind and loving home to spend his retirement years in. He is a lovely, happy, cheeky, funny, affectionate old fella. He enthusiastically greets everyone he meets with a friendly 'woof' and a waggy tail.
Although he gets along well with all other dogs, he would prefer a home with an older, calmer dog (or two) providing companionship rather than playtime. He would also suit a solo dog lifestyle as long as his humans were around more often than not.

Big Kev looooves his food and will promptly let you know if he thinks a meal has not been prepared on time! Couch cuddles and belly rubs are a favorite pastime. He also loves a bit of a potter around the garden, especially if his human is also out there pottering with him, or just a lazy snooze in the sun.

Kevin requires a home that will allow him to live indoors with his humans. He is quite happy in his crate or big snuggly dog bed, but always keen to jump up on the couch with you as well! He has also been living with a cat in foster care with no issues and just a mild curiosity!

Kevin is an old dog who without doubt has had a rough life. His adopters need to be committed to the ongoing and possible increasing costs of a senior dog. On arrival into foster care he was treated for severe mange, ear and eye infections and had a few small lumps removed (all benign). He has recovered from all of this and has a new lease on life. Kev also has hip dysplasia in his right hip which is not unusual for a dog of his age and life. It is managed with daily doses of Neurontin and ensuring only very moderate exercise is undertaken, and if he pulls up sore, Meloxicam to be administered as needed, as well as Antinol as a daily joint supplement. The cost of maintaining this is currently about $30/week.
