Story
Warhol is a very friendly, loving, and loyal companion. He is silly and adorable. He loves food, treats, walks, playing in the yard, and cuddles. He is particularly fond of his toys, and is very energetic. Warhol enjoys food, treats, toys, walks, attention, and cuddling. Warhol would thrive in a single-pet household, and thrives with adults. Warhol is best in a home with a fenced yard as he likes to explore. Warhol is trained to sit, shake, high-five, lie down, place, and be gentle. He often displays what is called a submissive smile (A non-aggressive facial expression used to convey friendliness, appeasement, and that they are a non-threat). It looks intimidating, but he is either being silly or trying to apologize for being ornery. Warhol is up to date on all Vet exams and vaccines, microchipped, and neutered. Warhol requires being the only pet. He is not consistently aggressive with other animals, but he does have issues with jealousy. This is the reason we are re-homing him.
