My story

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

Meet Little Dude! This pint-size pooch came to us from a local shelter after he was abandoned. Though he has a microchip, it was unregistered, and the ACO was unable to trace it back to an owner. He was found in heartbreaking condition, emaciated, matted and dirty. Despite all he’s been through, he is so sweet. Little Dude was patient, letting his foster bathe him, give him a trim, and brush his matted fur. He looks like a brand new dog!

Little Dude’s personality is emerging. He has lots of playful energy, chasing his bigger foster sister in the yard to get the ball. While initially cautious of new people, once he meets someone he welcomes snuggles and belly rubs. Little Dude’s favorite activities include chewing on bones or antlers, going for a walk to explore, and being by his person’s side. We think he will be happiest in a home where his owner doesn’t leave for long periods.

Little Dude is believed to be a cairn terrier, perhaps mixed with Chinese crested, about 3-years old. He has been great with his big dog foster sister, but is more cautious of other large dogs. He met a few smaller pups and was completely at ease. He is best suited for a home without birds or other small animals, as his terrier nature kicks in and they are just too tempting! We have not introduced him to children or cats. He is doing well with house training on a frequent schedule. He does not like his crate however he eventually settles and sleeps in it. Little Dude has been neutered, fully vaccinated, and heartworm tested to get him ready for his fur-ever home. If that could be yours, fill out an application at boomersbestbuddies.com
