Little Balducci, also known as Dawson, joined the rescue as a stray only three weeks ago. We can't believe this spunky guy managed to survive on the tough streets of Houston at just 9 pounds. At nearly one year old, Balducci is a bundle of joy. He has recently been neutered and is fully vetted, primed for his forever home. This affectionate pup is close to being house trained and crates well at night. He loves to race around the yard, and you’ll often find him zooming between the kitchen and living room. Balducci’s favorite place is resting his head on your shoulder, bringing sweetness to your day. He can adapt well to homes with or without other dogs, but due to his small size, we recommend a household with children aged six and up. His ideal home would feature outdoor time and loving companionship. A fenced yard would keep him safe while he plays and explores. He’d thrive in an environment where he can be lovingly carried or perched on your shoulder. Balducci is joyful, gentle, and social. He balances fun with calmness perfectly, embodying a small companion that will fit into any loving family. If you're looking for a pup who offers both energy and affection, Balducci might just be the one for you. He is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated, ready to settle in with a dog-loving person who understands his needs. Your new best friend is just one click away.
