Story
Meet Roosevelt!
Nickname: Rocky
Breed: Yorkie/Silkie mix
Rescue: Albert’s Dog Lounge
Age: Senior
Weight: 16 lbs
Foster home: Fox Point, WI
Activity level: Moderate
Friendly with: Dogs! He prefers dogs who respect his space and give cues when not interested. Can be cat tested. Loves all people so far; while he hasn’t met kids yet, he would likely be fine with older children who understand he doesn’t like to have his face touched much.
Sleep style: he likes the couch, doggie beds, and especially the BIG bed — but never under the blankets.
Meals: 1/2 can of food X2 a day; he likes kibble but forgets to chew and that bothers his tummy!
Snore-o-meter: 1 (quiet)
Bark-o-meter: 2 (non-reactive to other dogs & new people, really only barks when he wants to get your attention)
Shedding meter: surprisingly, 1!
Fashion: tie-dyed teeshirt
Signature color: royal blue
Favorite season: So far, winter!
Personality: quiet, trusting, very sweet, growing more snuggly.
Best feature: jaunty, shaggy ears!
Signature move: hopping on hind legs when the leash comes out
❤️s: Mealtime, walks, hanging on the couch with foster parents, car rides, doggie daycare. Sometimes I get randomly very excited about my squeaky toy!
