Ah, I just saw the post in S&S thanks to a PM. Well, here is the rest of my post, and we'll see if it's allowed to stay
A little over a year ago I took my fiancee to the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah, and while we were there we met a sweet old dog named Kimbo. We took him on a sleepover while we were there, and he became attached to us very quickly, even whining at night if he couldn't see us to make sure we were still there. We would have adopted him, but we were living in a place that wouldn't allow dogs at the time, and by the time we moved to an apartment complex that did allow dogs, we adopted one from a local rescue instead. What we didn't realize was that Kimbo's owner had died and he ended up at the sanctuary shortly after, and that was
14 years ago! This old boy is 15 years old and has spent nearly his entire life at the sanctuary--granted, it's a very nice sanctuary, but it isn't a home.
After finding this out in a recently posted video on the Best Friends website, my fiancee and I have become determined to do what we can to help Kimbo get adopted so he can finish out his life in a loving home. He doesn't get along great with other male dogs, and he has some separation anxiety, but he's great on a leash and loves to go hiking, even at his age. I know a lot of people on here have dogs already, or aren't home enough, but I thought that maybe posting about Kimbo on here could help improve his chances. Here is a recent picture that a volunteer took of him:
You can also find him on the Best Friends site
here, and we have set up a
fan page for him on Facebook
I really hope that we can generate enough interest to find a good home for Kimbo. Thanks for reading, and please tell others about him
