Goofy

(aka "Goof-ball")

Muttville's eldest resident (16 or 17 years). Super loving. He has a sparkle in his eye and a spring in his step. Possibly a bed hog. Tolerant of other dogs but would rather not share the spotlight at this point. Muttville is looking for a special adopter who is prepared to love him to the fullest, while understanding that he is entering the last, and hopefully best chapter of his life.

Breed: Whippet mix
Size: medium
Gender: male
Neutered: yes

After providing years of service as a Therapy Dog to elderly and sick patients at hospitals and in hospice, Goofy was surrendered to an animal shelter because his caretaker could no longer care for him. He remained at the shelter for months, watching and waiting as countless potential adopters passed him by in favor of adopting younger dogs. Fortunately, his endearing warmth and charm wasn’t lost on the wonderful folks at the Alameda shelter who contacted Muttville for help. We would like to place Goofy in a truly loving home where he can experience in return, the love and joy that he so generously gave to so many. After a complete vet check…we also know that Goofy is a very healthy old man!!
