Story
🎸 Presenting: Sir Ukulele
A large personality in a slightly-too-large body.
Sir Ukulele (yes, Sir — he insists) is a 6-year-old Rat Terrier with the gorgeous blue coat of a runway model and the long delicate legs of a deer that just woke up. Some say corgi, some say terrier, some say “is that a woodland prince?” — but everyone agrees: he’s adorable.
Currently weighing in at 23 lbs of love (and snacks), Sir Ukulele is supposed to be closer to 15 pounds… and he’s working on it. If you’ve ever tried to skip dessert, you’ll understand his journey.

🎸 Personality & Lifestyle Notes
• Very friendly — he’s never met a stranger, just future fans
• Gives world-class hugs (full body, committed, leaning in)
• Prefers not to be left alone and will make this VERY clear
• Needs to learn that crates aren’t portals to sadness
• Great with other dogs and would love a dog sibling
• Cats & respectful kids are totally fine
• Potty training = still in progress, but he’s trying!
• Leash walks are great… unless the destination is the vet 😬
• Nail trims? Oh absolutely not. He has strong opinions.
⸻
🎸 What He Needs
Sir Ukulele would thrive with:
• A strong, calm leader (who can lovingly enforce rules)
• A dog buddy to help him feel secure
• Someone home more than not
• A sense of humor (optional, but recommended)
He’s sensitive, loving, and deeply people-oriented. He wants to love hard — he just needs someone to show him that independence and structure are safe, not scary.

🎸 The Vibes
Sir Ukulele is the dog who:
• Will follow you into the bathroom
• Will press his head against your chest during a hug
• Will act like trim-time is a Greek tragedy
• And will look at you in a way that makes you forget every inconvenience instantly
He is beautiful, devoted, and ready for his next chapter — with someone who sees not just who he is, but who he can become.
If your heart just said “that’s my boy,” Sir Ukulele is waiting for you. 🤍🎸
