Hi I'm Tux! I'm in my golden years and am looking for a retirement home where I will be doted on and cared for forever.

*I am in a foster home locally 

Nearly a whole year ago now, my guardian sadly passed away and it was arranged for me to come to WAG to make sure I was cared for and could find a place to call my own again. I'm over 13 years old now and was very well loved prior to coming here, but I do have some special requirements and preferences to suit my needs. I am a sweet senior lady and struggled with sort joints when I arrived, affecting my mobility and quality of life. My prescription vet food helps provide all that is needed for an older gal like me to continue to age gracefully, along with some meds including monthly solensia shots to control arthritis pain.

Although I have been in the care of WAG since mid November 2023, I am grateful to have spent most of that time in a couple of long term loving foster homes, with humans who are able to give me lots of TLC and make sure I get my meds and am given all the love in the world. I adore human company, naps, gentle brushing, snacks, chin rubs and more naps. I love being in a quiet, calm home and living a relaxed life, especially relaxing on my foster moms bed and finding different warm spots to laze away the afternoons. I am more mobile that I was, and at my latest weigh in I have lost nearly 1.5kg of weight! Everyone is so proud of me and my progress, I certainly have a lust for life and show my carers that I have been feeling better each month. It has not all been smooth sailing however, I have undergone dental work and had a mass on my ear removed earlier this year. With thanks to WAG's generous donors for supporting the Critical Care Program so animals like me are able to receive much needed care at all stages of life.

Speaking of medical costs....guess what? Shout out to the generous folks at @Petfinder Foundation for awarding WAG with the Senior Pet Grant for little old me! This grant is designed to help alleviate some of the costs that can be associated with adopting a more senior pet. I've been lucky to receive $1000 which will help to cover a variety of costs, including medication and food expenses, for my future adopters. This is an amazing bonus for whoever is lucky enough to adopt me! Want to know more about how the grant works? Email us at adoptions@whistlerwag.com

Senior's like me often spend a long time awaiting adoption which can require lots of resources. But, thanks to donations to WAG's Critical Care Program cases like mine can be taken on to offer us a second chance at health and happiness. Please consider donating to their fund if you are in a position to do so!

If you feel you could give me a calm, warm and safe home to spend my days then please fill out an adoption application by clicking "Apply to Adopt" today.
