HEY JUDE
This sweet, 13-year-old gentleman is looking for a cozy retirement home. He’s calm, affectionate, and moves at a leisurely, age-appropriate pace. He enjoys a stroll, but prefers to keep his walks short and sweet. There’s still a mischievous glint in his eyes, although his shenanigan days are likely behind him. Jude is happiest snuggled up in a warm, comfy spot with someone to love. Do you have room in your heart and home for a sweet old man?
