My story

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

Meet Dewey
PLEASE NOTE- AN APPLICATION FROM THE WEBSITE ALMOSTHOMEDOGS.ORG IS REQUIRED prior to any meet and greet. Calling, emailing and using the “contact us” link is not useful and will delay your consideration in the adoption of the dog. Petfinder inquires are not sent to us.

Hi there! My name is Dewey and I am 50% chihuahua and 50% land seal! 30 pounds at 1.5 years old, housebroken and crate trained-really just the perfect dog. Don't you love my Gorgeous Blue Coloring? What does that mean you ask? Well it means I am a bundle of lovable energy! I do get nervous in new places and meeting new people but once I am comfortable I come right out of my shell and become a lovable, wiggly boy who wants nothing more than to entertain you! I like to chew toys, play fetch, cuddle and laze around in the sun. I also love running and doing zoomies (had surgery on two bad knees, they are better than they have ever been and I can run like the wind). I am going to be a pocket rocket! I'm also very gentle at eating out of the palm of your hand. Land seals are herd creatures so my ideal family will have another dog around my size to play and run with or smaller, or I will be fine in a home without other dogs being the center of your attention.

Dewey knows many commands including sit, down, drop it, and stay and is super loving. Loves fetch, is housebroken and very loving, loves to go for long walks. He will be initially nervous with other animals and will need a slow introduction and has lived with other dogs most of his life (the cat in the current foster home scares him).
