Meet Sheldon, a charming four-and-a-half-year-old mix breed who might just be the delightful combination of Yorkie and Dachshund! 🐶💖 Now, here's the thing: Sheldon started his journey at a weighty 20 pounds, and we've kicked off a weight management diet to get him back into tip-top shape. 🌟 Oh, Sheldon is a sweet, loving little guy at heart, though his past has left him a bit distrustful and snappish. 🥺✨ Surrendered by his previous owner at just three and a half years old, this little darling suffered from untreated flea infestations that left him with raw feet and patches of missing fur. But fret not! Those pesky fleas have been evicted, and his fur is growing back beautifully. 🌈🐾 After spending several months in a loving foster home, Sheldon has truly learned to adore his foster mom. She can do just about anything with him—even give him baths! 🚿🐾 And while he may be a bit apprehensive of his foster dad (he's given him a little warning nip), he gets along relatively well with the resident dog, but let’s be honest—he’d thrive as an only pet. 🎉 Sheldon is looking for an experienced, compassionate dog owner who can shower him with love and patience while he learns to trust. 💕 While he’s been fine with adult visitors (after a little barking), he’s not ready to share space with kids just yet; when they visit, he takes a little timeout behind a gate. 😬🏠 This little adventure-seeker loves to venture outside to chase squirrels and sniff around for critters, though he’s not a fan of rain or snow. 🌧️🚫 He also enjoys being brushed, but you know he’ll just roll around afterward to mess up all that hard work! 😂 And let’s not forget how much he adores sitting in your lap, soaking in ear rubs—you just can't resist this cuddle bug! 🤗❤️ Are you ready to open your heart and home to Sheldon? He’s up-to-date on vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, and protected against heartworm and fleas. 🏥💚 The adoption fee is $350, and he needs a home of his own that isn’t an apartment or condo, as he loves barking to alert you about any little sounds. If you're interested in making Sheldon a part of your life, apply to adopt him through the Buddy App! Let's make his dream of having a loving forever home come true! 🌟🐾
