My story

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

Meet Morty!

Morty is a chihuahua/pug mix, not quite a year old yet, and he weighs just under 13lbs. He's 50% leg, 25% eyeballs, and 25% ears.

He is also the definition of a sour patch kid.

On one hand, he's content to snuggle up and get some love after a few rounds of chasing after a tennis ball. He's happy to prance around with his ridiculously long legs and do a thorough investigation of his surroundings. He'll pal around at your feet while you do whatever it is you're doing.

On the other hand, he is a vibrating, anxious chihuahua mix that will square up with a dog five times his size (no, that's not an exaggeration). He's ready to throw down on sight.

Mostly, he is the snuggle up kind of guy. Because he's never bad with people. Only with other dogs. He LOVES people.

But, for obvious reasons, he needs to be an only dog. He has only child syndrome which is fine. Sharing isn't everyone's cup of tea. If he wants to be the king of your universe, well, that's his choice.

Who needs more than one dog when you have Morty anyway? He'll love you enough for, like, ten dogs. Quality over quantity.
