A senior dog is looking for his fur-ever home in Illinois.
Noting that the canine “had his life completely turned around,” the organization detailed that Ajax is “now looking for a loving place to call home during his golden years.”
Though they were unaware of how the dog does with other animals, the Anti-Cruelty Society added that Ajax “has shown that he could co-exist with other dogs.”

In an email statement to PEOPLE, the Anti-Cruelty Society says that Ajax is currently participating in the organization’s “Home Trial” program, which allows potential adopters to take part in a “test run” with the animal they are interested in adopting.
“At the end of the week, they can adopt their new friend, or if it doesn’t seem to be a match, they can bring the animal back to the shelter,” the group says. “It is a win for us and for the animal, as it gives them a wonderful break from the shelter, and it frees up some temporary space for us.“Ajax, the Anti-Cruelty Society tells PEOPLE, is “currently loving his Home Trial.” The organization adds that his potential adopters told the group that the dog is adjusting well and was at one point “in the backyard burying a bone.”And while Ajax is currently unavailable to others, the shelter says it is “hopeful” that those fostering him will decide to adopt. “We usually see success at the end of the trial,” the organization notes.
