My story

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

Hi human, thanks for clicking on me! Was it my soulful eyes or inquisitive facial expressions or my casual bench pose that caught your attention? What can I say, I'm a very charming guy. Just look at my cute white paws and tip of my tail, and freckle fun on my nose. I'm a terrier mixed breed filled with lots of love, affection and energy. I've done well with other dogs here at Animal Humane, both in doggie playgroups and just passing by on my walks. I'm also housebroken, and I know how to sit and take treats gently. I'm a strong guy, but I listen well, especially if you need to redirect or correct me if I get a little too excited on my leash. Rawhides are my absolute favorite toy, and I love walking with one - it keeps me focused and it gives me an excuse to find a bench where we can hang out together and get some cuddles in while I nom on my toy. Yes, I'm a snuggler. I might look strong and stoic, but I'm really just a softy who adores humans, treats and a little TLC. If you're looking for a big lovebug to join your pack, I can't wait to meet you!

A team member adds, "Thrifter loves to take a toy with him on his walks, and he's such a cutie showing it off proudly to people he passes. He's very friendly and a good listener who knows "sit" and politely takes treats from your hand."

Another team member says, "It's very cute how excited Thrifter gets when he sees people, just wagging away, and he knows how to be gentle when it's time to take treats and get petted."
