My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, I’m Munch, I'm about 7 years old. Sadly, I was surrendered due to no fault of my own. I was very scared when I first arrived to the Rescue Center, but now that I’m at Famous Fido, I’m slowly learning to trust again and I've actually become a staff favorite. In actuality, I love attention! I enjoy sitting on the staff members laps while they work and I enjoy pets and just any attention. Or, I can sit contently by your side. I just enjoy the company of my human friends. I do quite well with other small dogs and cats as well. I'd prefer a home without children. I really, really enjoy snacks so if you don't watch yours close enough, I might steal them but hey, snacks make a great way to train and I am highly motivated by food!!
