About Werthers

Meet Werthers! 🌟 This sweet gentleman is a shining beacon of resilience, and let me tell you, that’s saying something! Picture this: a little fella arriving at a city shelter, looking small and broken, with a ruptured eyeball hanging from its socket. 😢 It’s the kind of sight that makes one's stomach drop. How could a creature so gentle have endured such suffering? The heartbreaking truth is that, just a year ago, he was adopted out from the very same shelter—bright-eyed, sweet-faced, and perfectly healthy. Somewhere along the way, he slipped into a nightmare that no dog should ever experience. But wait! The story doesn’t end there. šŸ“– No, it gets better! In his time with us, Werthers has gone through a transformation that feels almost like a fairy tale. His painful eye has been removed, allowing him to step into a new chapter of his life, free from pain. He has been bathed, groomed, and wrapped in warmth and love, learning that his life is truly valuable. šŸ’– These days, you can find Werthers snuggled in his fluffy, cozy blanket, cuddling with his favorite lamb toy. šŸ‘ He’s transformed into this adorable little guy who now realizes that comfort is finally his to enjoy! Known for burrowing into warm beds and flipping them around until they’re just perfect, he’s absolutely found his happy place! While he enjoys his peaceful snooze time, make no mistake—he throws a little party every time his foster mom comes home. šŸŽ‰ Werthers may not need a lot of exercise, but he loves to explore his surroundings with a classic sniff here and there. 🌼 This easygoing gentleman enjoys attention and affection, but he’s not demanding—he’s the chill friend who will happily lounge nearby as long as his bed is fluffy! He gets along splendidly with other dogs who respect his space; if they don’t, he will let them know with a little grumble or bark. 🐶 His ideal home? A calm and tranquil space where he can blissfully snooze in peace. šŸ’¤ Werthers is a well-behaved chap, too! He walks beautifully on a leash, rides like a pro in the car, and sleeps soundly through the night. Though he’s housetrained, he hasn’t quite mastered the art of signaling when he needs to go, so regular trips outside will keep the accidents away! He’s also crate-trained and can handle a few stairs, with just a bit of help when tackling a full staircase. šŸŽˆ And let’s not forget, he’ll repay your help with gentle kisses—such a charmer! At around 12 years old and weighing in at 12 pounds, Werthers is ready to step into a forever home where he’ll finally be cherished and loved! 🌈 This resilient soul’s story is turning a new leaf in 2026, and with your help, it can become the fairy tale ending he deserves. Remember, potential adopters must *apply through the Buddy App*! Let Werthers bring joy and warmth to your life!
