About Jody

Jody may take a moment to warm up, but once he feels secure, he exudes love and affection. Weighing in at just under 10 pounds, he makes for an ideal companion, especially since he adores being held. His favorite pastimes include chasing balls, savoring bacon, going for car rides, cuddling, and lounging on the couch. While he has bursts of energy, he's equally content to kick back and enjoy a relaxed day. He's friendly with both small dogs and cats, and he's making great strides in his leash training. A few details to note: - Potty trained when taken outside regularly and uses puppy pads when needed. - Sleeps in a crate, although he prefers the comfort of the couch. - Tends to graze rather than finish his meals in one go. If you're seeking a tiny companion with a big heart and a penchant for bacon, Jody could be just the match for you!
