Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Piston!
The name is Piston, and after my family put me outside because they got a new puppy, my human neighbor asked if she could take me and find a rescue for me. Since I'm a senior, I became an Albert's Dog Lounge dog! My foster mom says that since I'm just a little guy, weighing about 20 pounds, and I'm super cute, I'll find my forever home quickly. It helps that I'm a really good boy and go potty outside, and I get along with everyone I meet! Dogs, cats, humans, I love everyone. Don't let my short little legs fool you, I can do zoomies super fast, and I promise to keep you laughing when I do them!
One thing I will say is that after being kept outside, I truly appreciate a soft bed in a warm house! I'll snuggle right in and sleep real good. I enjoy taking brisk walks and snuggling all the same. I could easily go on a jog with you and then come home and watch some Netflix with my favorite person. I really enjoy getting attention from my humans. Ear rubs are my favorite! I even purr like a cat because they feel so good! Now, I've made it my mission to find my forever humans who will always keep me safe and loved. I just need a little spot in your home and a little bit of love from you! Are you ready to add a handsome guy like myself to your family?
