Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Tiny!
Hey everyone, my name is Tiny, Tiny Dancer if you will. I'm a golden oldie and get along splendidly with everyone I meet! I do well with dogs and cats, even if I am a bit of a fun wrecker when they get to wrestling and horsing around by barking at them to stop. If they were more my speed, a sit and snuggle type of dog, there would be a lot less fun to wreck. I could easily and happily be your one and only, getting all the attention and love you could possibly give! I've met kids of all ages, too, and though I do well with all of them, I'd prefer a home with the older kiddos who would respect me and be careful of my size. I'm only 9 pounds after all.
I'm a super good boy and do my pottying outside. I can hold it through the night, but I'll need a few extra trips outside during the day. While I enjoy snuggling into a pile of pillows or blankets, I sleep in my kennel at night. I don't mind my kennel if you give me a lucky mat in there with some goodies on it (soft goodies only, please, I don’t have many teeth left). My favorite things include being held by my humans, going for long walks with my humans (in a harness, because I have collapsing trachea, common for my breed), and sitting on my human's lap. Oh heck, anything to do with my humans is my favorite. Who am I kidding? Rainy days might not be my jam, but Netflix and chill is! Oh, I also love my food, and foster mom calls me a chow hound. Since my hearing isn't great, and my sight is going in one eye, my nose works overtime! I would definitely be a superstar in barn hunt classes! If you are looking for a little guy who is the perfect amount of spunk and lazy snuggler, I'm probably the one you have been looking for. Maybe I can go home with you!
*Tiny is being fostered in the Milwaukee area.
