Awww poor old fellow, congrats on helping this senior out.

I am in the process of trying to

If he only does this at this time of the night i may try leaving a night light on near his kennel.

All you can do Jen is try the water, the other two suggestions I had were the night light, or a radio on very softly near his kennel where he sleeps, or a very thick warm blanket for him to curl up in, in his kennl (I have a 14 year old that needs the thick blanket or she won't settle down at night either)

am i doing
>anything wrong?

No, does not sound like anything you are doing wrong, just these old timers especially a rescue could have a multiple of reasons for not being quiet, you just never know, maybe he had a constant companion at one time during the nights and now he is alone.
