My story

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

Meet me at the mobile adoption event on Saturday, November 16th at Woodlands Pet Food & Treats San Rafael from 12-3pm (unless adopted before 3pm). An onsite sign-in sheet will open one hour before the event.

(From my foster home)
Mugsy will steal your heart once you look into his eyes. His cute little whiskers will captivate you. His ears will remind you of a cute little circus elephant who loved to fly. He is approximately four months old- he is a rambunctious puppy! He just started chasing his tail. He loves toys.

He gets along well with my two older, smaller dogs with whom he wrestles and plays. I believe he would do great with an older doggie brother or sister who could play with him, but also show him the ropes. He sleeps in a pen at night near my bed; he likes to be in the same room with his people. If there is a lap available, he will jump in it.

We are working in his potty training, he will use a pee pad at night in his pen, and we are doing positive reinforcement training with him to go outside when it is time. It is a work in process!

We have tried to leave him alone in the pen during the day while we are out, but he is very vocal about not liking that. But again, some positive reinforcement and training can overcome this with a big dose of patience. He has a pretty good appetite; he loves roasted chicken and turkey and cottage cheese. He doesn't seem to like peanut butter.
