About Dennis

Born around May 1, 2026, this adorable puppy tips the scales at about 9 lbs and is expected to weigh between 15 to 25 lbs when fully grown. Like any typical puppy, Dennis enjoys running around the yard and playing with his friends and toys. His foster family is working on his house training and he's already showing progress by going outside with the others. He will need some leash and harness training, but being a smart pup, Dennis should pick that up quickly. He requires a secure, fenced yard and would thrive with a playmate.
