Meet Lamar, a dignified senior with a soulful gaze and a story as rich as his name. While “Lamar” traces back to French and Spanish roots meaning “of the sea,” this charming 16-year-old is proudly a mix of Patterdale Terrier (English) and Pug (Chinese), a blend that gives him both handsome looks and a gentle, bashful demeanor.

Lamar is a quiet, mature gentleman whose calm presence speaks volumes. Though age has softened his hearing and eyesight, don’t be fooled, he can still spot a squirrel and perk up at the possibility of a leisurely chase. He supports his senior joints with daily vitamins and, aside from that, is in good health.

An accomplished walker and a professional napper, Lamar is fully house-broken and thrives on routine. He does best with a patient person who understands that good things take time, especially trust. Shy at first with strangers, Lamar blossoms once he warms up, rewarding kindness with affection and loyalty.

This silver-muzzled sweetheart prefers a quiet home, ideally without young children. He’s open to sharing space with other dogs, provided they’re respectful and not too bouncy, roughhousing is no longer on his agenda.

For the right person, Lamar offers companionship, calm, and a steady presence—perfect for someone who values peaceful days and heartfelt connections.
