Everyone say hello to Almond! 🐾❤️
Today we had the honor of spending some time with our very first La Porte shelter pup, and I don’t think they could have sent us a sweeter gentleman! 🥹
Almond is estimated to be around 7–8 years old, but don’t let that number fool you. This handsome guy still has plenty of life, personality, and SO much love left to give!
Like I do with all of my shelter babies, we started our time together with a quick walk around the block to get the wiggles out, take a potty break, and let him get comfortable with me before we started grooming. And y’all… Almond is SUCH a gentleman on a leash! He happily walks out front without pulling much at all. Once he reaches the end of the leash, he settles into a nice, steady pace and just enjoys taking in all the sights and smells. He would make such a great walking buddy for someone who needs a little extra motivation to get those daily walks in. ❤️
Bath time? Welllll… that wasn’t exactly Almond’s favorite part. 😂 He tolerated it like a champ as long as he could use me for emotional support whenever the water was running. I’m pretty sure I was wetter than he was by the time we finished. 🤦♀️😂
He was an absolute gentleman for the high-velocity dryer, too as long as we stayed away from those feet! Apparently Almond would like everyone to know that his feet are his personal property and even AIR touching them is highly suspicious. 😂
Almond came into the shelter severely matted. The shelter staff did a wonderful job removing the larger mats and left some of the more sensitive areas for me to carefully work on today. By the time he left, this handsome guy was mat-free, soft as a rabbit, and smelling soooo good! 😍
And underneath all that fur is just the sweetest older gentleman. Almond gives the best little kisses and absolutely LOVES being close to you. If unlimited snuggles were a full-time job, this boy would happily clock in every single day. ❤️
Now that Almond has had his little spa day, he is ready for the most important part: finding his forever family. I sure hope someone sees this sweet face, falls in love, and heads over to the La Porte Animal Shelter to meet him. He deserves to spend his golden years spoiled, loved, and snuggled exactly the way he wants. 🥹🐾
Please share Almond and help us get this handsome gentleman seen! ❤️
