Health and Special Care Needs
As a senior dog, Oupa has a few manageable health considerations that his foster family has already begun addressing. With the right support, he’s ready to live comfortably in his new home.
Supporting Oupa’s Physical Health
- Arthritis Management: Oupa walks with a slight limp at times, likely due to arthritis, but Nutriflex joint supplements have improved his mobility.
- Hearing Considerations: He may have slight deafness or selective hearing, a common trait in older dogs that adds to his unique personality.

Easing Storm Anxiety
Oupa gets nervous during thunderstorms and prefers the security of a small, enclosed space. His foster family builds him a pillow fort during storms, which helps him feel safe and calm—a simple yet effective solution for his new family to continue.
The Benefits of Adopting Oupa
Choosing to adopt a senior dog like Oupa offers numerous advantages. He’s fully housetrained, settled in his habits, and requires minimal effort to integrate into your routine. His tranquil demeanor suits individuals or families seeking a pet without the demands of a younger, more active dog. Most importantly, adopting Oupa means giving a senior pet the loving home he deserves in his later years.
What Oupa’s Forever Home Should Provide
- Companionship: A person or family eager to give Oupa the attention he craves.
- Safe Haven: A cozy spot, like a pillow fort, to comfort him during storms.
- Gentle Activity: Short walks to satisfy his curiosity and love for sniffing.
