Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Barron is a wonderful little Chug- that's half Chihuahua and half Pug. He is a very special boy. He had to have his front left leg amputated after an accident, but we never say he's missing a leg, because he doesn't miss it at all! Barron can still run like the wind, and play fetch and tug-o-war with the best of them. He absolutely LOVES to play with toys- especially ones that squeak. His very favorite game, though, is 'get the hand' with his people. He growls ferociously and tries very hard to be convincing, but everyone who knows him knows he's really a little marshmallow! To see a video of Barron in action, check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AoVZOygixc. He does great with the other small dogs and cat in his foster home, but if you want him to be an only child, we know he would be thrilled!
When he's done playing, Barron likes to have snuggles and cuddles with his favorite people. He's definitely a lap dog, but it's important that his new family never leaves him on any furniture or a bed that he could jump off of and injure his remaining front leg. Likewise, although he can negotiate a couple of stairs just fine, he'll always need to be carried up and down flights of stairs and may have a hard time negotiating a dog door when he is older (though he does just fine with them now). Barron is very talkative, and will tell you all about it if he feels you're not giving him the attention he needs or something equally important comes up. It's very cute! Barron has been waiting a long time for his special family to find him, and he doesn't want to wait anymore. If you'd like that family to be yours, please fill out an application to meet him today!
