About Symbol

Meet Symbol, an adorable two-year-old who weighs around 7 pounds. He’s friendly with dogs and thrives in a home with another canine buddy, as he does well with companionship. While he’s still figuring out he’s not a fan of initial introductions, Symbol is a calm presence, requiring some time to adjust to new sounds and sights. He’s made great progress in his foster home, learning to navigate the yard and enjoying some playful zoomies. Although he prefers being carried and snuggling at his favorite human’s feet, he’s curious and makes his way up the stairs when he feels confident. He’s on the road to becoming fully potty trained, with some gentle encouragement to do his business outside, and he's already crate trained, settling well in a pen when left alone. His gentle demeanor and sweet tail wags at treat time reveal his affectionate nature. Symbol is eager to bring joy to his forever family and is excited to start this new adventure.
