Story
Meet Pierogi, an irresistible little heart-stealer with short legs, big confidence, and a personality as delightful as the comfort food he’s named after. Like a perfect pierogi, he’s small, hearty, and guaranteed to make you smile. He may be a funny low-rider, but don’t let those short legs fool you—this pup is packed with joyful energy and an adventurous spirit.Pierogi came from a litter at a shelter in Alabama, and he’s been charming everyone he meets ever since. He absolutely adores kids and is gentle, playful, and affectionate with his people. He’s a smart boy who’s eager to learn and truly wants to please. When introduced to a cat, he did wonderfully—respectful, curious, and polite. Confident without being bossy, Pierogi strikes that perfect balance of fun and easygoing.Crate trained and making great progress with housetraining, this silly, loving boy will keep you laughing, happily follow you from room to room, and grow into a loyal companion who believes every day should feel warm, comforting, and a little extra special. If you’re looking for a family-friendly pup with a lot of heart and just the right amount of flavor, Pierogi is ready to serve up a lifetime of love in his forever home. .Name: PierogiBreed: Pittie/Basset Hound (possible since he has such cute stubby legs!)Sex: MaleAge: 11 weeksWeight: 12.0Spayed/Neutered: Too young - Spay/Neuter Contract will be required and strictly enforced.Vaccinations: Puppy vaccines will be up to date.

This requirement is for the benefit of you and your puppy, so if you experience behavior issues, you have a point of contact. PLEASE—Think long and hard before adopting a puppy. Consider the lifestyle change this puppy will come with. He cannot be crated for more than 3-4 hours until he's older. Puppy-proofing your home will be necessary.
