"HELLO THERE, WHIPPERSNAPPERS, the name's Crash. One look at me and you'll know why. I've been through things you can't imagine. I'm ready to settle down after a long life of adventure. The doctor says I'm up to date on everything but I could use some really thick glasses. These days my idea of exercise is taking a few laps around the kitchen island and then watching 'Return of the Jedi' with the cats. If you look closely, you might see some characters that look like me. If you can be quiet during the movie, I'll let you join in. Sometimes, I like to sit outside and just breathe in the fresh air. If you want to go for a walk, I'm good with that. If you really want to get to know me, send me an invite to a buffet. I need to put some pounds on this old body." More about Crash: 16-year-old Shih Tzu mix, 8 pounds, heartworm negative, neutered, up to date on vaccinations. Crash was a stray and came to TDR terribly neglected. He is blind and has an age-related spinal condition that causes him some pain. His kidney function is off, which might be a temporary problem. Crash is getting on a bathroom schedule at his foster home but he still uses pee pads. TDR knows it takes a special person to adopt a dog who doesn't have much time left, so there is no adoption fee for Crash. Available through Tired Dog Rescue, Gulfport, MS.

We at Tired Dog Rescue strive to find homes for dogs in need, build quality relationships with responsible owners, and preserve current dog-family homes by seeking solutions to financial, behavioral, and situational dog problems. We believe the lives of homeless, abandoned and abused dogs are just as precious as dogs that currently have a loving home. We believe that all dogs deserve a loving home despite their age, medical condition and/or disabilities. We provide whatever medical care is needed regardless of cost. All dogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm negative and current on vaccinations before being placed.
