About Curly

Curly is a young terrier mix with a real taste for playtime. He fits right in with other dogs and mostly ignores cats, taking things in stride. Curly is nearly fully potty trained—he prefers a little help with the door instead of figuring out a doggy door on his own. At night, he settles right down in his crate and sleeps without a fuss. With his short coat and friendly energy, Curly would do well in a home ready to include him in the fun. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
