Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Cotton, a 6 month old Maltese boy who weighs 8 pounds. He is being fostered in McKinney, TX. Only Texas applicants will be considered.
Howdy howdy folks it's Cotton the one eyed bandit back are you ready for my pupdate?
So I have been here at Stickhorse Ranch for a little bit. I have decompressed totally. My eye is all healed up. I don't even think I miss that eye because I sure get around perfectly. I love to play with my foster brother and foster sister here. I really like being outside, especially with the weather getting nice. I like to explore the backyard and play chase and tag with all the other pups here.
Since I've been here I've gained the weight that I should have on me. I now weigh 13 1/2 pounds. I am a little food piggy but that's probably because I was on my own for a while. I will clean up everybody's bowl if they haven't finished their meals, so foster mom has to keep a close eye on me and all the other doggy bowls. I like any and all treats, and I take them really gently from you. I do like to play with the other foster dogs here but I also can play by myself by tossing my toys up in the air. I really like Nyla bones in those crinkly noisy toys.
I do not like thunderstorms, lightning, rain, and getting my feet wet. I am almost potty trained, but I do have an accident every now and again I am not a snuggly dog or a kissy dog but I do like to sleep in doggy beds or by you in the big peoples bed. Foster mom says the only bad habit I do have is I like to chew the beauty bark that's out in the yard and I will bark when I see the Amazon driver or any other type of delivery person walk by the door and let them know I'm here to protect the house.
Foster mom says I'm a really happy go lucky guy, considering my circumstances on how I got here. I sure wish I could be able to tell everybody what had happened to me before but I guess there's no Dr. Doolittle's around anymore.
So let's update my list on what I would like to have in my new home with my new furmily.
A stay at home, parent to continue with my potty and other training, because I am pretty smart I probably can learn tricks and commands very easily.
No kids under 10.
A very secure backyard is a big bonus.
NO CHAIN LINK FENCES.
If you have another dog about my size that likes to play, that would be pawsome. I could also be a single dog in your home too.
Lots of toys.
Comfy, dog beds, and people beds.
Lots and lots of love.
A big can of training treats.
Good nutritional food for my meals. I eat both kibble and soft.
So if you think you can satisfy all my needs and wants, please submit an application for me and there is a direct link below to do that. If you have any questions, you can reach my foster mom with them at stickhors@gmail.com
UYR helps so many Littles and we count on our family, friends, Facebook and social media buddies for contributions to help us help others that need help (like me). If you find it in your heart and budget to help us out, there is a PayPal link below for your donations. You can always share my story with your friends to if you're unable to donate as the more shares I get there always could pawsible be someone out there who can help us with donations that will let us help us help other littles that desperately needs us and UYR will always help as many as they can as long as we have Foster homes for them.
Thank you, until my next biography,
Cotton
