Hi everyone! My name is Michelangelo and I am a 9-month-old Staffordshire mix. I weigh approx 55 lbs. I came into rescue with my 3 brothers - we were named after the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I’m excited to tell you a little about myself because if you wanna know, I think I’m pretty fantastic! I am currently living with two dog friends, a cat who I’d like to be friends with, and my foster mom. I love to play with my dog friends - we go outside and wrestle and run. When it’s rest time I like to cuddle up with my friends or my foster mom. At night or when my mom leaves I have to go in this thing called a kennel. Foster mom has to throw a treat in there before I will go in though. Once I eat my treat I settle in for sleep and don’t make a sound till morning. I am so curious about this cat creature! I just want to play with her and sniff her, but she isn’t interested. When she runs away I am sure she’s playing so I chase her, I just want to be her friend. In fact, I was playing ball one day and I thought she’d like to play too so I put the ball on the chair in front of her and waited for her to throw it. She didn’t do anything, but I tried to include her in my playtime. I am still working on potty training but getting better every day. I go outside on a schedule and never potty in my kennel. My foster mom has potty pads in the bedroom and if I can’t hold it I use those. I just haven’t figured out how to let anyone know that I need to go out. I like to go for walks, but I do pull just because I’m so excited to see and smell new stuff. I’m willing to learn to be a better walking partner if you’re willing to teach me. My tummy gets a little upset when we go for a ride in the car. A little Dramamine makes that go away and I’m good to go on adventures. I love to chew on bones, although chewing apart a stuffed animal is just as much fun. I am just a big puppy at heart, in fact, I occasionally still think I’m a lap dog. I am very food and treat motivated so training won’t be a problem. I would do best in a forever home with another dog or kids to play with. I rarely bark, mostly just to get my furry friends' attention. Why don’t we meet and you can see for yourself just how great I am?
