My story

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

Meet Guy Smiley! He is guessed to be around 3 years old and weighs 11 lb. He is looking for a very special home who has lots of patience and desire to help save a dog that needs lots of understanding.

Guy Smiley is extremely fear aggressive and will bite when scared. It took us months to even touch him, but now he will allow us to pet him. Building his trust takes a long time, lots of treats, and the skill and patience needed to keep both him and you safe. We don't want to sugarcoat it - he is a difficult dog - but we think with the right person we really believe he has the ability to flourish. He needs to be put under for nail trims.

Guy Smiley is crate trained and he does amazing at going outside to potty. He gets along with cats and seems to be ok with coexisting with other dogs, but we haven't yet let him free with the other dogs to know how he is 100%. Based on what we have learned about him, we think he would do well with other dogs who would leave him alone. He really seems to like my 6 year old son - but he has not been allowed to touch him yet.

Guy Smiley's adoption donation of $200 helps cover the cost of his vet care.

More about this rescue

A rescue organization dedicated to helping you locate and adopt your "perfect" pooch.
No one, or nothing, is perfect....this includes dogs, but we firmly believe that there is a "perfect" dog for everyone. This doesn't mean our dogs will not have accidents in the house, or bark at times you don't want them to, or chew on your good shoes. They are dogs and they will require training and structure, but their flaws make them truly unique, beautiful, and "perfect" for the right family.

Perfect Pooches Adoption Agency (PPAA) is dedicated to working with each family to ensure we try to find a dog that will be a match with your lifestyle, needs, and wants. If we do not currently have a dog that is a match we will do our best to help approved adopters locate a dog that would be a better fit.

Our pooches are rescue dogs that deserve a second chance. Please consider opening your heart and home to a new companion today!
