Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Name: Pretzel
Nicknames: Pretz. Little Miss. Little One.
Breed: Great question
Doppelgänger: An innocent, small puppy
Sex: Female
Age 1.5 years
Weight: about 19 lbs.
Before OMD: Brought into the city shelter as a stray
Key descriptors: Shy. Friendly. Mouthy. Talkative. Curious.Snuggly.
Energy level: Medium-high
What we love: Her perma-puppy face. How she wiggles back and forth on her back to get her foster siblings’ attention to play
What she loves: Chasing you around when it’s playtime in the yard. Sitting on the back of the couch like a cat. Beef lungs. Cod skin strips.Boiled chicken on her kibble. Mealtime. Toys.
Even though she’s little: She’s not a huge fan of being carried around. Four on the floor is her preference, please
Snuggle style: She always like to be around you but prefers to snuggle her fur foster sister…that is until you’re laying down, that’s her cue to find the perfect spooning spot next to you.
Warning label: Small mouth contains piranha teeth. Those sharp chompers like chewing things that shouldn’t be chewed on
What she knows: Place.
What she’s working on: Classic puppy behaviors (e.g., mouthinessand boundaries)
Dogs: Yes! She loves ‘em. Big dogs are great as she plays a tad rough
Cats: Maybe. They’d need to be dog-savvy. They’d definitely need to give her a good whack or two
Kids: Not yet. Those teeth are needle sharp
House-training: No – she’s struggling to get it down, so she’ll need some patience
Crate-trainind: She is!
Ideal home: Another energetic pup who likes to play. A patient family who is dedicated to keeping up with her training and socialization
Pretzel is spayed, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and microchipped. She is available for adoption to CT and surrounding states. If you are interested in adopting, please complete an application from omdrescue.org
