My name is
Dickens!

Meet Dickens, a lively mixed breed with a zest for life! This adorable 15-lb. fur ball earned his name with his spirited antics: he's as cute as the dickens!

Dickens can be playful and high energy and would thrive in a home with active adults and/or older children who can match his energy and enthusiasm. But don't worry; he knows how to hit the snooze button too. He'll happily curl up on your lap for a cozy nap or night's sleep.

Speaking of laps, Dickens is selectively social with other dogs and can be a bit selfish about sharing his human’s affection with them. Being the only dog would be fine with him.

Dickens definitely needs a securely fenced yard in which to exercise; life on a leash is not for him. And his independent (sometimes stubborn) nature means he doesn’t always come when called. We would like to place him in a quieter rural or suburban environment where he can be the king of his own backyard, rather than having to cope with city noises, traffic and crowds.

If you're ready for a heaping helping of love, laughter, and cuddles, prepare to fall head over heels for this little bundle of joy.
