Story
Approximate Age: 6 yrs Approximate Weight: 12 lbs Meet Happy Lappy – the sweetest little guy looking for his forever home! 🐾💛 ** Happy Lappy is as loyal as they come, however that means once he picks his person in the house, he can be a little snippy with everyone else. He needs a strong pack leader to not let him rule the house. ✨ Here’s what you need to know about him: 🐶 Sweet boy – only 11 pounds! 🏡 Already showing great house manners 👩‍👩‍👧 Velcro pup – loves laps & bedtime snuggles 🐕 Dog-friendly – coexisting nicely with 4 dogs in foster home 🤫 Quiet little guy – soft whines/whimpers, no barking so far 🚶 Leash skills are improving – just needs a little practice! 👧👦 Kids unknown, 🐱 cats unknown 🛏️ Crates well for meals & sleep (might whimper at night… and end up snuggled in bed after a potty break 🥹) 💌 Happy Lappy is the perfect mix of gentle, cuddly, and sweet. He can’t wait to find a family who loves snuggles as much as he does!
