about UNCLE BILL
Meet Uncle Bill – A Gentle Soul in Search of a Loving Retirement Home
Uncle Bill is a wise, tender-hearted senior with a quiet grace and a deep well of love to share. After the passing of his beloved owner, this dignified gentleman found himself in need of a new home when extended family members were unable to continue his care.
Though he’s in his golden years, Uncle Bill still has a delightful spark—he walks beautifully on a leash and enjoys his daily strolls with enthusiasm. When he’s not out exploring the world at his own gentle pace, you’ll find him curled up in a sunny spot, savoring a well-earned nap.
Uncle Bill is wonderfully social—he gets along well with other dogs and cats and is a great fit for a multi-pet household. He also does well with respectful children who understand that he sometimes needs a bit of quiet time. His calm, easygoing nature makes him the perfect companion for a peaceful, loving home.
Uncle Bill has been assessed by our veterinarian and recently saw a cardiologist for a heart murmur. Thankfully, the specialist confirmed that no treatment or medication is needed at this time. He does, however, suffer from allergies, which are managed through a special diet to keep him comfortable and healthy. Additionally, he has some elevated liver enzymes that we are successfully treating with a liver support supplement. This supplement may be a lifelong part of his care to help maintain healthy liver function.
Due to poor dental health, Uncle Bill is also in need of a dental procedure. This has been scheduled for the coming months—now that we’ve received the all-clear from the cardiologist to safely proceed with anesthesia.
This distinguished older gentleman doesn’t ask for much—just a soft bed, a quiet space, and a family who will offer him the gentle love and companionship he so deserves. If you're looking to share your home with a loyal, low-key companion, Uncle Bill might just be your perfect match.
