He is from a puppy mill and when he was rescued, the lovely ladies said he didn't even know how to play. He would poop in his little house and didn't seem to have a desire to do much..we cannot have pets where we are staying on vacay so we have been crossing our fingers that no one adopted him before it was time for us to go home..and we get him tomorrow!
He is wild and silly, but loves for us (my girls are 6 and 9) to sort of massage his back and head. He is already somewhat bonded to the caregivers at the pound so i know he can love.
He is about 11 pounds but all legs! They had to shave him to the skin because he was one big matted mess..but as his hair has grown over this month, he is looking much better!
My daughters are tickled that he is big enough to play fetch, yet small enough to go places with us!
As his hair grows in, he looks like he has sort of curly-ish hair..he may be mixed with a poodle??
Anyway, we can't wait to get him and love him and squeeze him!! One question though, how can we improve his breath? My little one says he needs a mint?
Would teeth brushing help or is this a vet visit we need to plan for?? |
congrats on your new addition and bless you for adopting a shelter pet.
As for his breath , if he is an older dog he may be due for a dental cleaning.
Probably a trip to the vet to get that checked would be a good idea
