Shorty

My story

Apply to Adopt Me! Meet Shorty! This sweet, compact guy is about 2 years old and weighs 26lbs, and has come a long way since he was found wandering as a stray back in January. When his previous owner was located, he made the kind decision to surrender Shorty so he could find the safe, loving home he truly deserves. Now thriving in a foster home, Shorty is discovering how amazing indoor life can be! He’s a happy and healthy boy. His foster family adores him, they know it’s time to help him find his forever match. Shorty loves his crate and even asks to go in it when he needs a little “me time.” His house training is a work in progress, so his new adopter will need to continue helping him with that. He is good with all people, including kids. Shorty loves car rides, but is not a fan of going through a car wash lol. He enjoys going for walks, playing in the yard, and spending time with the other dogs in the home when there are no toys around.  Shorty sometimes prefers not to share a toy with his fur siblings, so it's best for him to be the only dog in the household.  He would prefer a fenced yard, but he will also do fine with lots of exercise/walks and play time. He lives with cats, and although tempted to chase, he does a great job practicing self-control. He barks at a knock at the door or when the other dogs bark, but otherwise he just makes the sweetest "woooo wooooooooo" sound that's beyond endearing.   Shorty would thrive with someone who can offer love, structure, and lots of affection.
