Firkin spent almost six weeks at a local shelter, and when his foster mom asked them what his issues were, they told her he had none; no one had even asked to see him the entire time he’d been there   She went and picked him up two days later   
We first thought he was a senior (his teeth were REALLY bad!) but the vet felt he was only about six or so.  (It’s possible he is older, but we are listing him as six, according to our vet.)  He’s had a full dental, and ended up losing a lot of teeth (his teeth were REALLY bad!) and has had all of the other vet care done to get him up to date and ready for his forever home.
Firkin has a great disposition. He barks appropriately at strangers entering the home, but quickly settles down once he knows they’re ok.  He’s fine in the house while his foster mom is away and doesn’t need to be crated, though she usually isn’t gone for more than 4-5 hours at a time.  
Firkin mostly just wants to hang out with his human. He is a champion napper, and sleeps on the bed with his foster mama, though he prefers to burrow under the blanket.  An extra cover on top of the bedspread has become acceptable to him in lieu of tunneling under the bedspread.  He is also happiest if there is a blanket for him to cover up under on the couch next to his person when it’s not bedtime.  
Firkin is accustomed to the fenced yard at his foster home, so that would be preferred.  
This dear boy was once loved by someone at some point.  We are so glad for the chance to make sure that he gets the chance to be cherished and cared for again, and this time for the rest of his life.  He’s a very good boy!
