My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Heartworm Positive - Heart Condition

Hello. I’m Smalls! As in Smalls from the movie “The Sandlot”. Except when people tell me, Your killin’ me Smalls,” they mean I’m killing them with my extreme cuteness. I’m only 1-2 years old and very pleased to meet you.

Like the character in the movie though, I’m a bit shy. It’s probably because I didn’t get to spend a lot of time socializing before I became a part of the HBR family. Now that I am though, I’ve learned that I love being part of a family! I love being with all sorts of humans. Especially the tiny humans. I just want to be with you all.

I also love to be around dogs and I’m working on how to play with dog toys. Basically my foster mom says, “I’m learning how to be a dog because I was never given the opportunity to learn in the past.” That means that I had to learn how to sleep in a kennel at night (I’ve got that down) and how to only go potty outside (I’ve almost completely learned that). Since I’m smart though, I should have this “dog thing” down in no time at all!

Now there is one other thing I need to tell you. And I’m a bit nervous about it, because I don’t want you to think differently of me. But I know I need to tell you, so here goes... I have heart worms and a heart murmur. There. I said it. Now you know. And now I can tell you that I’m getting treatment and I will have those nasty little pests gone in no time. And as far as the heart murmur goes it’s manageable and I can live with it!

The only thing left for me to tell you is that I’m really excited to meet you and I really hope you want to meet me too. Please fill out that adoption application so we can meet soon!
