Meet Mouse, a playful 10–12 month old Terrier mix weighing in at a petite 8 pounds. This little guy arrived at Doggie Protective Services from the shelter, ready to find his forever home. He has a big personality and an even bigger affection capacity, making him a delightful companion. Since his arrival, Mouse has been exploring his surroundings with growing confidence. While he still observes new sights carefully, he’s learning to express his preferences on walks. He’s not one to bark unnecessarily; instead, he prefers to mind his own business as he navigates the neighborhood. Mouse enjoys munching on mozzarella cheese and has a knack for seeking out snacks. His daily routine includes potty breaks, meals, and playtime with toys and bully sticks. Don’t let his small frame fool you; he tackles toys with gusto and is a professional snuggler who enjoys close contact with his person. While he isn’t crate-trained yet, he’s shown he can settle down when left alone and prefers to sleep beside his human. His ideal home would be one that allows him to blossom at his own pace, ensuring he feels secure and involved in daily life. Mouse has previously lived alongside other dogs and has shown interest in forming connections, so he may do well in a multi-pet household. Mouse is looking for a family that appreciates his affectionate nature and will provide the consistent structure he needs to thrive. Your lap will always be his favorite place. Ready to get started?
