About Pluto
Pluto is a tiny, wobbly, and affectionate companion just waiting for his person. At three years old and weighing 10 lbs, he’s a little survivor working hard on learning to trust again. His back legs are wobbly, giving him a unique gait, but he manages stairs and can even run a bit when he feels safe. While he’s shown impressive progress, Pluto needs a patient and experienced adopter who understands that rebuilding trust takes time. He can be brave in familiar situations, but new experiences may prompt a bark or a gentle growl. He calms down quickly and will bond closely once he feels secure. Pluto is still mastering potty training, isn’t crate-trained, and experiences some separation anxiety. He gets along with dogs, often being a bit assertive at first but responds well to correction. While curious about cats, he may chase or approach too boldly, so confident cats or a cat-free home would be ideal. Pluto needs a quiet, adult-only home—whether a house or an apartment. A fenced yard is helpful but not a requirement. He thrives with gentle guidance and a commitment to slow, steady progress. Pluto might not be the easiest dog, but he promises to be a meaningful companion. He’s ready to find someone who sees beyond his fears and is excited to begin this journey together. Are you that special someone?
