My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This adorable little guy is Troy, a 3 year old terrier that came to us from some pretty tough circumstances. Troy and 8 of his friends were abandoned in an apartment in Newark. They were living in awful, filthy conditions and when our Newark facility was called by the landlord to remove this little family, we were happy to get them to safety. The whole bunch were transferred down to us at Popcorn Park and they all had much needed spa days as soon as they arrived. Little Troy was an absolute angel for his bath and haircut and seemed happy to get his nasty coat off of him. It seems that Troy and his friends were never really socialized much with people, so they are a bit shy. Troy approaches you very cautiously but once you are holding him, he welcomes any affection that you'll give him. He is very sweet and he is outgoing and affectionate too, once he sees that he can trust you. Troy is one of the smallest guys in the group but he seems to be the one that's in charge! He's constantly checking on the others and will sleep curled up next to several of his buddies. Troy gets along fine with other pets but would prefer a home with no small children under the age of 10. Please give our little guy the fresh start in life that he deserves! File#22961
