*Great news, Dr. Seuss's adoption fee has been covered!*
Our Dr. Seuss is named for one of the author's lesser known characters: the Leggy True Boo of MinPinAroo, a high-spirited imp with an infinite capacity for fun. In the book he's a gigantic blue marsupial. In real life, he's an itty bitty chocolate brown min-pin with red spots and splashes. He's a Guys! Guys! Guys! guy who bounces, skips, sambas and break dances through life, kissing, playing, and leaping into laps. He stops and rolls for tum rubs, snuggles and high fives. He takes walks and hikes, sometimes more than once a day. The technical term is "active senior. The reality is "peppy loverboy with puppy vibes and a taste for adventure". Adopt him and have it all!
Here's some notes from his foster:
We have had the pleasure of fostering Dr. Seuss or "Doc as we call him. Initially he was nervous but by the third day his cute little personality came out and began to shine! He loves to completely bury himself under blankets! He loves going for walks and enjoys playing with toys... for a few minutes anyway. What he really loves is cuddling with his person, basking in the sun and snuggling under soft blankets. He sleeps through the night and goes potty outside.
He has definitely made himself at home and has settled comfortably into a routine. His favorite time of day...Mealtime! He gets so excited, jumping and barking...he can't contain himself. No picky eater here! He takes himself outside to our backyard to lounge in the sun...total sun worshipper. He does enjoy playing more with toys than he was previously and entertains us nightly!
Doc enjoys meeting new people and will demand pets and belly rubs from all. He enjoys his walks and can hike for over 2 miles without breaking his stride. He does get overly excited when seeing other dogs walking...we try to distract him or if that doesn't work, we just scoop him up. It is a work in progress, but easily manageable. While he does enjoy being the one and only, he has recently positively interacted with our very large, but calm and submissive grand dog and did well as long as he was NOT on a leash. After meeting, we were able to walk them both together with no issues. He is very sweet and loving and was great with my grand daughter...could not get enough of her!
Doc is a very happy and versatile boy. He would love to go hiking and on adventures and rides well in the car but is equally content snuggling on the couch. While he would never choose to be without his person, he is fine at home on his own. He has no problem with that. Pictures and descriptions just cannot convey how special little Doc truly is. Once you meet this little guy in person, you will know you just found your new best friend!
