Meet Figgy Pudding, a delightful bundle of joy weighing in at 40 pounds and bursting with heart, hope, and the promise of a glorious transformation! 🌟 This charming 4-year-old Portuguese Podengo has faced some tough times, but now he’s ready to find a loving forever home. When Figgy first arrived at the rescue, he was underweight and a bit cautious of everything around him—including humans! But thanks to his nurturing foster care experience, Figgy has begun to bloom like a flower in the spring! 🌸 In his foster home, Figgy has discovered the cozy comforts of home, the kindness of humans, and—oh, the joy of toys! 🎾 He’s a true toy connoisseur! Stuffed animals? He’s all in! Benebones? Yes, please! Kongs? Count him in! But squeaky toys? Let’s just say they won’t last long in Figgy’s enthusiastic paws! 🤣 But here’s the magic: Figgy’s ultimate happiness is found outdoors. Rain, snow, sun, or cold—it doesn’t matter! He absolutely adores his time outside, running through the yard with joyful zoomies, sniffing every intriguing scent as if he’s a detective unraveling a thrilling mystery. 🕵️‍♂️ But because he’s quite the speedster (especially when nervous), a securely fenced yard is a must! Figgy is crate trained, viewing his crate as a little sanctuary where he eats, sleeps, and retreats when he needs some quiet time. He’s looking for a patient and gentle adopter who understands that building trust takes time. This isn’t a quick fix; it’s about nurturing a bond! 💖 Now, let’s talk about Figgy’s furry friends! He genuinely enjoys the company of other dogs, but those introductions need to be slow and measured. When overwhelmed, he might retreat, but give him time, and he’ll happily integrate with other dogs and join in on the fun! 🐕 The payoff? Once Figgy feels safe and comfortable, he transforms into an exuberant, playful, and goofy companion! He’ll come timidly for affection, and if you manage to win his heart, be prepared for those soft, sweet kisses—oh, those are the moments that’ll melt you! 💞 Ideal for an active household that loves walks, hikes, and outdoor adventures, Figgy will thrive in an environment that allows him time to adjust and flourish. He’s all about building that special bond—he’s not just a dog; he’s your future best friend! 🐾 If you are interested in welcoming Figgy Pudding into your life, the first step is to fill out an adoption application through the fabulous Buddy App!
