About Munchie

Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you. Munchie recently joined the rescue, and his foster mom is already learning what a wonderful companion he is. At six years old, this small Morkie enjoys spending quality time with his people and makes friends easily on walks, greeting other dogs with a friendly attitude and walking nicely on leash. Munchie loves to play fetch, knows his "sit" and "come" commands, and never guards his food or toys. While his housetraining is still being polished, he's making excellent progress. Munchie prefers to have company for much of the day, as he thrives when someone is home. He would do best in an adult household, as children can make him a little anxious—his happiness comes first! Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
