Story
Puff is a very sweet, obedient boy. He is a neutered 7 year old male, and we believe to be a maltese/terrier mix, although we are not certain as Puff was a rescue. He is 17 pounds and non-shedding. He obeys basic commands (sit, stay, off, come, heel) and is eager to please. He is great with kids, and good with cats and other dogs, although large dogs can make him nervous and he can take a bit to warm up. We hate to part with Puff, but now that both of my children are in travel sports, we are not home very much and Puff is becoming quite anxious, as he is always worried that we are about to leave. We have tried hard to make it work, but I truly believe that Puff will be happier in a home with someone who is able to be home more, as he truly wants to be a velcro dog and is happiest when he is with his people. A meet and greet and/or home visit and references will be required, as I want to be sure that Puff is going to an excellent home.
