Story
Have you ever wanted your own Wampa with anger management issues? Boy, do we have a deal for you! Meet senior, 10lb Gremlin. Remember as a kid that seemingly harmless old man who’d suddenly lash out if you have the audacity to step on his lawn? Well, he’s been reincarnated in the body of a fluffy white dog. This pint size cutie packs a punch, but he’s generally chill if you learn and respect his boundaries. Saying he’s been the “perfect houseguest” might be pushing it, but overall Gremlin is an easy dog to care for. He happily goes outside to go potty in all weather, uses a potty pad while left in his gated area, sleeps quietly through the night in his room, and is happy to be in your presence while not being all up all up in face about it. While he absolutely seems to prefer being the only dog in the household, he’s been able to co-exist with minimal skirmishes alongside 5 other dogs in his foster home- with just a bit of management. He will tell off the other dogs if they look at him wrong, and doesn’t love sharing his space, food, or people with others. As such, if there are other dogs in the household, there will need to be a plan and rules to ensure everyone is safe comfortable, but thus far that has not proved too difficult. If you’re looking for love at first sight or a snuggle buddy, you’re going to want to look elsewhere. Gremlin doesn’t love strangers, especially men, and will absolutely let you know that. He would likely thrive in a quieter home with no children (including children that might visit often) and minimal guests. When visitors come, he does best being gated in a quiet room, away from the commotion. Gremlin has bitten and broken skin in his previous home, so setting him up for success is extremely important. Grem is sensitive to many types of handling, so grooming and vet visits are likely to be a bit of a challenge. He also doesn’t love being picked up, but he will happily solicit attention from those people he trusts, even rolling over for belly rubs and allowing himself to be brushed for short periods of time! He will also make it clear when he’s had enough, and need someone who listens and won’t take that personally. Boundaries are healthy! Speaking of health, Gremlin appears to have some arthritis is in back leg and takes Dasaquin to help, but he gets around fine and is currently able to run, jump and use stairs with no issues. If you can provide a quiet retirement home for a sometimes cranky old man, that actually has a heart of gold (well, maybe silver… or copper….), please fill out an application to learn more about Gremlin!
