Angel Seeks New Home to Share Her Affections
Wired-hair terrier mix gets along with other animals.
I’m Angel, a very sweet and quite 10 year old wired-hair terrier mix. Even though my owners of 10 years decided not to take me to their new home, I have adapted instantly to my foster home.
They have three other dogs in their household, and we all get along. Sometimes I like to chase away the three cats because they annoy me every once in a while, but I have never have been able to catch them, and I never hurt them.

I have the perfect name because I have the gentlest nature. I love being brushed, and I love back and tummy scratches. I will even press my paw on you if you stop scratching me, because I want more! I am a little shadow who craves love and attention, especially since my family left me alone at a shelter.
Wouldn’t you want reassurance too? I was so sad and depressed at the pound, but now that I’m safe in a foster home here at Young at Heart, I’m feeling so much better! And, because the rescue runs blood work on all of us seniors, they found out that I have Cushings Disease. This is a disorder where a small tumor on either my adrenal glands causes my body to make too much cortisol. I’m on medication now, and being carefully monitored by the rescue’s vet, and am already feeling better!

I know it sounds a little worrisome, but I should have many wonderful years ahead of me. I absolutely love getting my meds with peanut butter, so I don’t mind that I will need them forever! I am a great little dog, good with other dogs and good with cats, and I am quiet and very polite. I’m a cute little scruffy girl who would just like a home to spend her golden years in. Will you take a chance on me?
I love people so much, that you would think that my kisses and snuggles would make up for the price of my pills, but my friends here at Young at Heart are willing to pay for my Cushings Medications for the rest of my life if I find the right home!
