My story

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

Morti: The 39-Pound Brindle Shadow with a PhD in Playtime!

Prepare yourselves, mere mortals, for the arrival of Morti! This 39-pound bundle of brindle-colored charm isn't just a dog; he's a highly sophisticated, tail-wagging, toy loving, affection-demanding machine. With his dashing good looks and a personality that could charm the kibble right out of your hand, Morti's got it all.

Morti MUST have a fenced in yard as his Jack Russell DNA isn't just for show. One minute he's a cuddly lap dog, the next he's a furry blur streaking around the backyard, convinced he's on a top-secret mission to retrieve... a rogue leaf. And don't even get us started on his toys—he treats them like tiny, squeaky adversaries in an epic saga of slobbery triumph.

Morti's a quick learner, which is good, because he needs to know all the rules for maximum mischief. "Sit" and "lie down" are a cinch for this canine Einstein. He can entertain himself for hours with a stuffy, or he'll challenge you to an Olympic-level game of fetch.

But beneath that playful exterior lies a heart of pure gold... and unwavering loyalty. Seriously, if you want a shadow, save yourself the trouble and just get Morti. He'll follow you to the kitchen, to the bathroom, to the fridge (especially to the fridge). He just needs a good leader, and once he's warmed up to you, he'll be your best friend, your confidante, and your personal stand-up comedian, ready to lighten the room with his sheer excitement to see you. Other dogs? If they're up for a wrestling match and a good sniff, Morti's in!

Morti is a social media star in the making—on his own terms, of course. He needs a confident, strong-willed human who can be his manager and help him navigate a world that doesn't fully understand his introverted, but very lovable, nature. A home with a lot of "fans" constantly dropping by would just be too much for this rising star. He'd much rather spend quality time with his core team (you!) than deal with the paparazzi.

If you're looking for a devoted, hilarious, and slightly clingy companion to add endless love, happiness, and just the right amount of delightful absurdity to your household, Morti is ready to report for duty. Just be warned: once you go Morti, you never go back!
