My story

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

Hi. My name is Shrimp and I am a 5 year old chi mix. Since I weigh only 10 lbs, Shrimp is a pretty apt description.

My foster mom says I am one loveable guy because I can't get enough of kissing, cuddling and lap time. I am fast on my feet and Houdini has nothing on me. A secure yard will be necessary as I am an escape artist! Nudism is my thing. No collars, leashes or harnesses for me. I prefer to go au natural. I am a bit strong-willed. I like to decide when I want attention and affection and whom I want it from. Please don't be presumptuous and pick me up or force your attentions upon me. Reward me for my positive behaviors (and there are many) but if I misbehave, ignore me rather than reprimanding. I really hate scoldings! Does anyone like to be scolded?

Housebroken, neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, microchipped and negative for Heartworm and Lyme diseases, I am ready for a committed relationship. A doggie friend would be fine if they are my size or bigger. Sometimes I play a bit too rough for the tiny dogs I am currently living with. I can get carried away but when they let me know they have had enough, I back off. Having no cat experience, I am not sure whether I would like to share a home with one. I love food and am not fussy. You serve, I eat.

If you are ready for a fleet-footed love bug, I am your man. Let's make a date to meet.

Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.

We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.
