Meet Mole, the lovable, squishy, and utterly adorable foster pup who's sure to melt your heart! This gentle giant is a master of relaxation and a connoisseur of life's simple pleasures. With his lion-like mane of excess skin and fur around his neck, Mole is as cuddly as they come and always ready for a good snuggle session.
Mole's perfect day is a delightful mix of short, sniff-filled walks, car rides (his absolute favorite!), and plenty of nap time. He's a food enthusiast who'll charm you with his adorable dance of joy at mealtime, complete with hoppy paws and a wiggly tail. This older gentleman has mastered the art of being the perfect house guest, never counter surfing and always respecting boundaries.
While Mole prefers to be the center of attention, he's made great strides in his leash manners and is indifferent to cats. He's a hit with children, treating them like mini adults and soaking up their affection. Mole's ideal home would be filled with love, maybe a large backyard for exploration, and definitely lots of opportunities for car rides. He's the perfect companion for someone who enjoys a laid-back lifestyle with a dash of adventure.
With his squishy wrinkles, gentle nature, and endearing habits, Mole is not just a dog - he's a charming, loyal friend who'll bring joy, laughter, and lots of love to his forever home. Whether he's showing off his basic obedience skills for treats or snuggling up on the couch, Mole is sure to be the cuddly, adorable companion you've been dreaming of!
