My dog will not play

My dog is an active 13-year-old (small dog). He will not play. He never has, not with toys of any kind nor with me (fetch, etc.). We think he had been abused before we got him, abused by being housebroken using old-fashioned punishment-based methods. Of course he is bored. How do I keep him from being bored?

I went through a very similar problem with one of my dogs before, then we found this extremely cool foggy water fountain thing. All you do is hook the hose up to it and when your dog steps on the pedal it squirts water up. Pup loved it and really started engaging more...was also very entertaining to watch! I’ll post link to where I bought it.
