My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
I was a stray, when I was brought into the county shelter. Can you imagine no body wanting me? I am a feisty fellow. It's only to compensate for my small size though! I do act as though I've never eaten. That would account for what awful shape I was in when I was found. I'm all cleaned up now, as you can see. When I went to the vet all my teeth were rotted, so I have no teeth. It's possible I was used for breeding, even though I have some social skills. I get along with the dogs at rescue. Sometimes I act like the "big dog", but my foster mom gives me the evil eye which says back off. Again, I could have been with other dogs bigger then me and I had to fend for myself. I'm loving with my foster mom. I'll sit on her lap and fall fast asleep. I'm about 5lbs and approx 8 years old. I'm all ready for my forever home....one thing, I need help with my potty training. I do wear a belly band and don't mind it at all, but I know I need to be potty trained, and I will keep working on it! Life hasn't been that great so I really want a home where my person is home a lot.
