Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Rags: Handsome as they come, despite the horrible ear-cropping he received at the hands of some jerky person! Rags loves his people and is mellow, laid-back, and adorable. He would do best as an only pet since other dogs seem to make him nervous and he gravitates to wanting to hang out in the lobby with all the humans….just preferring to watch other dogs but not interact or play with them which is fine with us.
He loves everyone he meets, wiggling and thinking he is a lap dog. He enjoys car rides and could be a great dog to take along with you for errands and be your shadow. Rags does not like being alone so an ideal home for him would be someone who did not work super long hours but would be able to spend some time with him during the day, at least at first to get him acclimated…..We know this because he was adopted to someone who adored him but worked long days and his neighbors in his apartment building complaint that they would hear him barking so he came back to us which is super sad but WE KNOW he will find a perfect forever very soon…..He is a volunteer favorite and no one has anything bad to say about this guy, seriously a special gentle dog.
