My story

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

✨ Meet Whiskey — Your Tiny Social Butterfly ✨
Whiskey is a 5-year-old male Chinese Crested with a big heart, a goofy streak, and a love for life. He may be a little unsure when he first meets new people, but give him a moment and his warm, affectionate personality shines right through. Once he feels safe, he becomes your number-one fan and loyal little shadow.

Whiskey is:
✔️ Crate trained
✔️ Pee-pad trained
✔️ Experienced living with other dogs
✔️ A friend to anyone who appreciates a gentle, playful companion

He would thrive in a home where he can build confidence, enjoy plenty of love and interaction, and have a safe space (like his crate) to retreat to when he needs it.
If you’re looking for a lovable, quirky, and delightfully social companion, Whiskey may be your perfect match. He’s ready to bring joy, charm, and a touch of sparkle into his new home!
