Story

EXERCISE NEEDS: Daily Workout EASE OF TRAINING: Eager FRIENDLINESS WITH PEOPLE: Loves Everyone PLAYFULNESS: Party Animal FRIENDLINESS WITH DOGS: Selective LEASH MANNERS: Pulls Sometimes Meet Worcestershire Sauce (Worcester, for short!), a small, spunky, and totally goofy bully mix who is ready to spice up your life! This energetic boy is pure fun, famous for his irresistible wiggle butt and high enthusiasm for everything. He is highly food and toy motivated, making training a blast, and he already knows his basic commands! Worcester is good on the leash, perfect for adventures. What you need to know about Worcester: High Energy: He will need an active owner who can provide plenty of physical and mental exercise. Dog Selective: He should meet any resident dogs before adoption to ensure compatibility. He may do best as the only dog in the home. Safety First: Worcester is a door/gate rusher, so secure entryways and consistent training will be essential to keep him safe. Training Potential: He is super smart and eager to learn (and eat!), making him an excellent candidate for continued training. He is also possibly house-trained! If you are looking for a compact, goofy, high-drive companion, come meet the one and only Worcestershire Sauce!

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

EXERCISE NEEDS: Daily Workout EASE OF TRAINING: Eager FRIENDLINESS WITH PEOPLE: Outgoing PLAYFULNESS: Semi-Pro FRIENDLINESS WITH DOGS: Selective LEASH MANNERS: Pulls Sometimes Meet Lupita, a delightful 3-year-old terrier mix who packs a huge personality into her pint-sized frame. This little dynamo is ready to find her special place in a loving home! Lupita is an absolute dream outside the house: Car Companion: Everyone who takes her out agrees she is the perfect Passenger Princess, wishing she were small enough to be a lap dog while you drive. Leash Manners: She sticks right by your side on walks and enjoys quietly watching the world go by (she’s fascinated by kids playing and squirrels!). -Love to Make a Splash- Lupita's love for water is truly unmatched! Whether it's splashing in a kiddie pool or frolicking in a shallow stream, she’s all about making a splash and having fun. Her enthusiasm for water play is guaranteed to provide endless entertainment for her future family. -A Focus on Success- Lupita is a very smart and active dog, and like many terriers, she needs a consistent routine to feel her best! To help her feel secure and channel her energy when she's left alone, she would greatly benefit from continued training, such as positive reinforcement for crating. This simple step will help her feel safe and relaxed while you're away. -A Deep, Trusting Bond- This sweet terrier mix is an observer, and she takes a moment to assess new people. Once she feels comfortable and secure, she reveals her true cuddly and affectionate side. Lupita is ready to snuggle up and form a deep, lasting bond with the patient and understanding family who earns her trust. In summary, Lupita is a sweet and energetic pup who’s always up for fun! Tennis balls and a good two-toy trade are top favorites, and this smart girl already knows a few tricks. She’s a peanut butter enthusiast, a pro at leaning in for butt rubs, and when playtime winds down, she’s just as happy to lounge by your side. Pita loves people and is ready to bring her mix of playful energy and snuggly charm to a forever home.
