Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Biscuit came into rescue with Waffles, also listed, when their owner surrendered them in an effort to downsize her numbers. We were told that Biscuit is a shorkey/maltipoo mix. He is a small, petite boy. Biscuit weighed 8.5 pounds as of his vet visit on 5/25/23. Biscuit is still a very young boy so he will adapt well I a new home. He gets along well with other dogs and kids, although due to his small size and frame, younger children may not be well suited since they can be rough. He also had done well with cats in his former home so he has been socialized to them. He is very friendly and has a confident, bold personality. He may think he is a big dog and sometimes tries to be a dominant boy so its important that he is not left to his own devices, particularly if there are larger dogs around who could hurt him. He does love attention though and loves to cuddle. He is crate trained but not yet fully housebroken so you must be prepared to house train. He walks well on a leash so he is ready to go for walks with you. He would probably respond best to a harness,which should be fitted to him to get the best fit. Biscuit is an all around great little dog and will make a wonderful family companion. He did see the vet on 5/25/23. No issues noted on his exam. Biscuit did test positive for hookworms and whipworms (we have dewormed him with Drontal). Biscuit tested negative for heartworms and started on Simparica Trio for heartworm prevention and flea control. He is in good health.
If interested in giving Biscuit his forever home, please submit your interest and your adoption application via email or text ONLY to 352-215-3260 (phone calls will not be answered or returned from this number). Biscuit's adoption fee will be $350 to help cover the cost of his vetting and daily care while with us. We will only consider applicants who complete the adoption application and will accept applications thru 6/15/23. We expect a high volume of interest for Biscuit and will be accepting applications for him prior to making our final decision for placement. Please be patient as we try to wade thru the interest and applications to find his best match.
