Mr. Damon's best "Come Hither" smile... Resist this!!

Damon is an 10 year-old dober-gentleman who has a lot of love to give. He came to IDR when his owner died unexpectedly and the owner's family was unable to care for him. IDR is hoping to find him a home as loving as the one he's been in his entire life. Although his world has turned upside since he had to leave the only home he ever knew and suddenly losing his best friend, he still has a happy personality. He is neither too energetic nor too lazy. He loves to take walks and is the perfect gentleman on the leash. He is equally happy to sack out in this crate or up on the couch. He loves attention from everyone he meets and will pace his head in a lap to have his ears rubbed or will happily lay on his back to have his tummy scratched. Damon came to IDR weighting in at a hefty 98 pounds and is now on a diet to take a few inches off his masculine physique. He is completely housebroken and is crated during the work day.

He knows some basic commands such as sit, stay, lay down, outside/potty and his favorite word - dinner! Apparently , nobody told Damon he was a senior because he gets around quite well and has no problem hopping into the car without assistance. We would make a wonderful companion for people young and old although he has never been around small children so a home without them would be preferred. He gets along well with small and large dogs but a seems a little too interested in cats so a "no cat" home is recommended. If you're looking for a wonderful companion this is a truly special boy who has nothing but love to give to all.
