    I finalized the adoption of Sam, our new dog. Looking through the paperwork,
    I now have no idea how old he is.

    The SPCA intake paperwork looks like it says he was 12, but that might have been a typo, because they list the assumed birthdate as 5/2020. The sign on his cage said 2.

    The paperwork for the adoption puts him at 8+, seeing as that gave us a discount on the adoption fee.

    He's got the beginnings of a gray muzzle and his eyes are a little cloudy,
    so I'm placing him at 7-8. His teeth are much cleaner than I'd expect for a dog any older than that.

    He was a found as a stray but is housebroken and walks well on a leash. He
    may have had his teeth cleaned by his previous owner, but they didn't neuter him or chip him, so I don't think he would have gone in for a teeth
    cleaning.

    In the end, it doesn't matter much, we're his for as long as he's got.
