My story

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

Meet Doc – The Littlest Bundle of Joy

Hi everyone! My name is Doc, and even though I weigh just under 5 pounds, I’ve got a big personality and an even bigger heart.

I may be small, but I’m full of playful energy and love spending time with other dogs and kids of all ages. Whether it’s romping around the house or chasing after toys, I’m always up for some fun.

I’m still working on potty training—I'll go outside, but I think it's way too cold out there sometimes. With a little patience (and maybe some warmer weather), I know I’ll get the hang of it.

The good news? I’m crate trained and sleep through the night like a champ in my cozy crate. I’m also learning to walk on a leash—it’s a work in progress, but I’m getting braver every day.

When I’m not zooming around, I love nothing more than curling up in a blanket for a good snuggle.

I’m great with kids, adults, and other dogs—I’ve never met a friend I didn’t like. I can’t wait to find my forever family and fill their home with love, laughter, and tail wags.

Could that be you?
