About this dog: Shortie may be small in stature, but he’s got a huge heart and an even bigger personality! When he first arrived, he was a little unsure of his new surroundings, but in just a short time he blossomed into a sweet, playful, and affectionate little guy. He happily soaks up attention, rolls over for belly rubs, and zips around the yard with his doggy friends at top speed—it’s impossible not to smile watching his little legs run to greet you! He’s learned how to be a polite playmate, happily sharing space and respecting boundaries with other dogs. Shortie has even learned that cats are best admired from a distance! He is still gaining confidence with leash walking and meeting new people, but with patience and consistency he continues to show how adaptable and resilient he is. Once he warms up, Shortie reveals just how loving and sweet he can be. He’s looking for a forever home with someone patient and kind, who will let him settle in at his own pace. In return, Shortie promises to fill your days with joy, cuddles, and plenty of zoomies!
