Sylvester is a playful little 8 year old, sweet as can be and loves his big ball.  He was surrendered by his owners when a new baby came into their home.  He is a little shy of people, (not fearful) and we have really not figured out why, but once he gets to know you, he will be your friend for life. 

Sylvester is housebroke, however when there is a thunderstorm or fireworks he could possibly have an accident.  The 4th of July was rough on him, but we think with calm reassurance this can be overcome.  He is neutered, UTD on shots, heartworm negative, had a dental and his senior blood panel was good  We also had full lumbar x-rays done as when he came into rescue, he would scream when you tried to pick him up.  The x-rays did not show anything wrong, so we put him on an anti=inflammatory and some pain medicine for a couple of weeks and he has not had any pain since.  It has now been 4 months and he can be picked up with out problems, actually looks forward to being picked up and held.  We are also feeding him Science Diet J/D.  We did not list him sooner on the website because we wanted to make sure there was nothing wrong with his back.
