Dewey (first photo) is a senior Scottish terrier who came into our rescue quite a long time ago from a local Connecticut shelter. He had been surrendered to the shelter along with three other dogs, all related, when his family was found not to be able to provide adequate care for them. Dewey spent a very long time in foster care, was adopted, and then was returned to us when he and the other dog in the home did not see eye-to-eye. He has returned to his previous foster home (and his P.L.A.Y. bed!) and is now seeking a new forever home. In the meantime, however, he is happy to relax on the bed and we love being able to provide him with the “creature comforts” he didn’t have prior to coming to us. Meet Dewey here.
