Story
Meet Waffles!
Nickname: The Great Pretender. Waffles lied about being a senior to get accepted into Albert's Dog Lounge. His zoomies and joyful toy play gave him away quickly in his foster home.
Breed: Lhasa Apso
Rescue: Albert’s Dog Lounge
Age: 5 years young... or younger.
Weight: 14 lbs of pure scruffy joy
Hometown: Milwaukee, WI
Current digs: Madison, WI
Personality Snapshot:
I'm a total vibe. Let's just throw that out there now. I am the hot guy at school that all the girls want to ask to the Sadie Hawkins dance. I would be Sunshine, the blonde surfer dude QB in Remember the Titans. If I had a baseball cap, I would wear it backwards, and wear Nike sport slides. I would chill all summer by the pool and flash my beautiful smile. Sun's Out, Fluff's Out, ladies. Every time I got up to walk to the pool, those lady lifeguards would swoon. I would toss the football in the pool with my bros. I am THAT guy.
I love all people, big, small, short, tall, male, female, babies, toddlers, kids, and adults. My talent is sniffing at your baby's dirty diaper until you change those poopy pants. I also excel at unpacking the toy box and blaming your children.
I love all the dogs, especially the ones who want to play with me, but if I am your one and only and YOU want to play with me, that is fine too. But wouldn't it be amazing if I had a sibling named Maple Syrup? Or Pancakes?
Waffles Stats:
Sleep style: currently in a crate, but I feel like you should let me sleep with you in your bed. Maybe? Please?
Meals: 1/3 cup Fromm's Gold, twice daily. Nom nom.
Snore-o-meter: 1/10 I am a polite sleeper
Bark-o-meter: 3/10 I will let you know when someone is coming to the door, and will mildly protest when I am crated but otherwise, I am pretty polite.
Shedding: 1/10 Be prepared to brush my flowing golden cream locks.
Fashion sense: think swimming pool chic~ Hibiscus print board shorts and a Billabong tank top
Signature color: bright pastels~ they pop against my sun-drenched curls
Walk-out song: I am big into that other blonde guy who turns heads: Justin Timberlake. I love me some "Can't Stop the Feeling"
Favorite season: Summer! It gives my adoring public the chance to ogle my fine, flowing locks.
Dream job: Hair model, and unpacking toy boxes at Walmart. My unpacking speed in unparallelled!
Special Notes:
The rescue says that I remind them of the Dos Equis guy. A lot. I say that's not me (though I MIGHT be the most interesting dog in the world!) but there is no photographic proof of us ever being in the same room at the same time. Draw your own conclusions.
I do mark indoors and am wearing a belly band right now, and I have a bad humping habit. However, I am scheduled for a neuter 1.16, because balls are for the football field, not rescue dogs, and there is a good chance that both of those issues will improve. I will likely also stop marking once I am feeling familiar and safe in a home. I have only been in foster for a short time.
The Details:
Neutered very soon
Microchipped
Housebroke (marks but that should improve with comfort level and neuter)
Enjoys
Happy zoomies
Rides like a champ in the car
Doesn't love it at the beginning but will use his crate
