Pet of The Week-Azazle (Azzy)!
This sweet senior is Azazle, also known as Azzy.
Azazle came to us as a transfer from the Saginaw area and he is ready to say goodbye to the city life and focus on a life of relaxion in good ole Northern Michigan.
Azazle is a calm and gentle guy and would do in a quiet home. He enjoys beds and naps like most senior citizens and does seem to walk well on a leash.
As is the case with many senior shepherds, Azzy does have some hip issues and is on some medication for pain management and allergies.
He seems to be tolerant of other dogs that give him his space and we believe he would do well with cats.
