A LA estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
Fully grown. This breed typically settles around 30–45 lbs.
Meet Woody. This very old dog was found clinging to life chained to a dog house in South LA. His starved, tired body couldn't even move. Flies were buzzing around his face. A good Samaritan saw him and got him to safety and we immediately put a plan in action. We got into an emergency vet where he spent the next two nights on fluids and 24 hour care. And, day by day he got better and stronger. Now, Woody is eating on his own and even walking around his Foster backyard stretching his legs. This sweet old man has been through a lot and deserves to be treated like a prince. He's looking for a gentle, quiet home where he can spend his retirement. We think Woody is about 15 pounds and roughly 13 to 15 years old. If you have a space in your heart for a lucky and deserving senior, please fill out an application.
This dog's breed isn't known, so here's general guidance for mixes.
🧠 Temperament
This sweet old man has been through a lot and deserves to be treated like a prince. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
His starved, tired body couldn't even move. Most adult dogs do well with 30-60 minutes of walking a day plus play and sniffing time.
✂️ Grooming
Brush regularly, bathe as needed, keep nails trimmed and ears clean.
🏙️ In an LA apartment
He's looking for a gentle, quiet home where he can spend his retirement. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
