My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Mookie would be that dream come true pup for a young family with kids 12+....we say older children not because Mookie doesn't love young kids...he really does - it's because Mookie is only 15 lbs and a year old and we want to make certain he's handled gently and respectfully. He does love playing and is entertaining in his silly antics, young energy and huge love he wants to show to everyone he knows. His story is all too common in his extremely close call to being euthanized in a scary Arkansas shelter....but who could ignore his adorable manner and desire to bond with anyone who would be his best friend? The awesome Arkansas rescuers recognized all of this and knew that there was a home out there that would love, respect and make this little guy a permanent member of their family. Mookie would do well in any family that's invested in spending time with their pup. He's so pleasant and portable that he can be a part of any adventure....it can be a hike, a visit with friends (and their dogs), a car ride on vacation or just an afternoon at the baseball field or plopped down on the couch - all of this would speak to Mookie's temperament. We aren't open to a home where everyone spends their day working full-time outside of the home....we'd like Mookie to get more time and attention than is possible with that lifestyle. Mookie is a non-shedding guy and therefore requires periodic grooming to keep his coat healthy and matt-free.
Mookie will be arriving on transport in Denver in mid-August. Applications are currently being accepted for this exceptional and loving companion.
