Pez is an adorable 9-10 month old Beagle-Dachshund mix, weighing in at just 10 pounds. He may not be the type to rush into your arms immediately, but if you believe in building relationships based on patience and trust, he could be your ideal companion. Pez has floppy ears and a long, low-rider body that make him irresistibly cute. Having arrived from a Central Valley shelter, he’s slowly discovering the joys of a safe life. Every day, Pez takes small steps of bravery, accepting treats and exploring his surroundings. Though he’s still shy around people, he enjoys spending time with other pets, including his foster family’s cat and another dog. Watching him interact reveals his playful spirit, especially when toys are involved. Pez thrives in a predictable routine. He starts his day with a morning potty break, followed by breakfast. Despite his occasional grazing at mealtime, he has become more confident about eating. He enjoys lounging around and playing with toys, collecting them like treasures. His perfect home would include an understanding family that can provide a calm environment and a friendly, confident resident dog to help him adjust. Pez is still learning about leashes and noisiness can startle him, but he’s making good progress in housetraining and generally sleeps well in his X-pen. If you have a kind heart and a little patience, you might just witness Pez blossom into the loving companion he is destined to be. Are you ready to take that rewarding journey together?
