My story

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

Ketchup is an 8-year-old, 13.5-pound sweetheart who is learning that the world isn’t such a scary place after all. In his foster home, this gentle little guy has shown just how much love he has to give. He happily splits his time between puttering around the house, exploring the yard, and climbing into his person’s lap for kisses. Wherever you are, that’s where Ketchup wants to be.

He’s doing well with potty training and goes outside reliably. Because he can be a submissive pee-er when he’s nervous, his foster uses a belly band indoors just to be safe. Ketchup is crate trained and settles in nicely, though he may politely let you know if he feels he’s been in there a bit too long.

Ketchup enjoys leisurely walks, rides well in the car, and is described by his foster as a sweet, happy little guy. He can be shy and unsure when meeting new people, but once he realizes he’s safe, his joy really comes out. He is just a sensitive heart that needs reassurance now and then.

He is good with dogs of all sizes and cats and would be happy in a home with or without other pets. Ketchup will do best with calm, respectful children ages 12 and up. Being small, he can feel scared if picked up unexpectedly, so his foster family has been helping him learn consent-based handling. When he’s ready to be picked up, he eagerly hops up on his foster’s legs. When he’s not, he lets you know—and that trust is everything to him.

Ketchup is looking for a patient, loving home that will move at his pace and celebrate the small victories: a wag, a kiss, a quiet moment curled up together. For the right person, he’ll be a devoted little companion with a soft soul and a whole lot of love to give.

His adoption fee has been sponsored, There is  a $15 rabies registration fee for McLean County residents if 4 months or older.

He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
