Beluga is a senior gentleman that is looking for a nice place to retire! He is looking for his last home, a quiet home, where he can hang out and lounge to his heart's desire. At his age, he is looking for someone who just wants to share their space with him. He's leaving the rough and rowdy playing for the puppies.

Beluga wants to sniff around, explore, chill, and see what life is like. He loves taking daily walks around the neighborhood and on the trail. And puzzle toys keep his mind busy.

"Beluga loved doing the puzzle toy since there were treats in it. He relaxed a little when I gave him a rawhide and he took his time eating it. He's a sweetheart!" says his friend Karen, who recently took him on a field trip.

Beluga would appreciate a calm, low traffic home. He enjoys having his people near by to play tug-rope or toss him a squeaky toy. He takes a lot of naps and can be found snoozing in the yard under the shade.

This senior boy is ready to settle in your loving home. Come meet this lovable boy! You can see more about him on Instagram: adopt_beluga

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!

Come meet your new best friend
