Larry

My story

Larry is a very shy, timid, & sweet boy, who recently lost his mama and the only real home that he has ever known. Before he was adopted by his mama from this very rescue, Larry was born into horrible hoarding conditions. He lived in squalor with at least 30 other small dogs, who all suffered from neglect. Due to the circumstances of his early life, Larry has never fully come out of his shell or fully lost his fear of humans. He has improved over the years, and will sit close to people, but he prefers not to be petted. He will take treats from your hand in time. Larry is about 5 years old and weighs approximately 15 lbs. We think he is a mix of poodle, chihuahua and possibly doxie or similar small breed mix. He is house trained, but he is not leash trained. He is a quiet, couch potato. He has some hair loss and matting of his coat. He also appears to have a cataract or old eye injury and some damage to the edges of his ears. We believe these issues are all related to his early life in a hoarding environment, but we will be getting him vet checked and groomed before he is cleared for adoption. We understand that Larry may not be a perfect match for everyone, but it is said that there is someone out there for everyone, and we are hoping that Larry will find another very special someone to love him just as much as his previous mama loved him. Someone, who finds him to be perfect just the way he is. If you believe you could be Larry’s special person and you are interested in Larry, please complete an application for him. Thank you!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Larry, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
