Here's what the humans have to say about me:
We adopted him at 2 yrs old from a family that had sent both their kids to college and no one was home to take care of him. He came to us with social anxiety, but quickly warmed up to me as his new mommy. He still held on to his little quirk though, he likes to walk/run in circles, and only to the left.
He's blessed with youthful genes, people still think he's a puppy. He's very affectionate, your typical lap dog. He helped me through incredibly lonely seasons in my life.
Things to consider: He never took to the leash, and we lived in a quiet, dead end street with a park just around the corner. That, along with his tendency to be very attached to the owner, he was always within my 3 ft radius. As such, he will need to be leash trained and re-house trained as it will be a new house/family.
After taking care of him for the last 8 years, and two babies later, I’m having a hard time giving him the love and attention he deserves. We are looking for a loving FOREVER home. Please help!
