My story

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

Did you have a nickname growing up that you either hated or loved? Or did you give yourself one, but it just wouldn’t stick? Most of our dogs at home have at least five alternative names which we use based on how naughty or nice they are behaving! Whether it’s “Sweetheart” or “Trouble”, our dogs don’t care what we call them, as long as we welcome them with love! That’s a good thing, considering one of Slushie’s volunteer friends came up with a pretty goofy nickname for him!

“Slush?ie-w?ush?ie-bougie-bab?y is a tolerant, friendly, affectionate and playful boy! He had a tangled-up cone on when I met him in his kennel and he was tolerant as I lifted up his feet and tried to untwist him. We made our way over to a play yard, where Slushie split his time between playing with his kennelmate and snuggling with me! His kennelmate has a noisy boisterous play style and Slushie didn`t mind one bit. He matched his energy as they raced around and around the yard. He would come over to me for snuggles, letting me pet him all over his body. He`s a good natured, easygoing boy! I know he will bring so much love into a forever family!”

Slushie shares his kennel with another PACC pup and has been social and tolerant when meeting other dogs in playgroup. He’s looking for a secure home where he will be welcomed indoors and given lots of mental and physical stimulation. He’s an energetic, cuddly boy who wants to be with his people and would probably love to join them on walks and hikes!

Whether you keep his name or give him a new one, Slushie doesn’t care what you call him, as long as he can call you his “Furever Family”. Ask to meet this spectacular boy today!
