About Pluto
Meet Pluto โ a tiny gentleman with a big personality! At 13 years old and weighing 8 pounds, this adorable Yorkie has the soul of an old man wrapped in a quirky little exterior that will make you smile every day. Pluto found his way to rescue as a stray, and while we may not know all the details of his past, we understand that he needs a patient, loving person who can help him build trust at his own pace. He might not be an instant cuddler, but with a little kindness and perhaps a treat or two, like chicken or cheese, his sweet and silly personality will start to shine. This playful old soul has a few traits that make him unique. He enjoys his independence, often doing his own thing but will seek affection when heโs ready. Pluto loves his crinkly toys and enjoys short play sessions, particularly a game of fetchโjust don't throw the ball too far! He has adorable little zoomies that highlight his fun-loving side. One of Pluto's best attributes is that he is cat-friendly, peacefully ignoring the cats in his foster home even when they swat at him. He also gets along well with small dogs but can be reactive towards larger ones, so a home without big dogs would suit him best. Pluto is relatively quiet; he rarely barks, making him an excellent companion for a calm home or apartment. Though Pluto is cautious when meeting new people and may avoid attention initially, he is gentle around children and would do best in a home with respectful children aged 6 and up. He prefers soft pets under his chin rather than reaching over his head. Respecting his boundaries will help you gain a loyal and loving friend. Being a senior, Pluto has a few considerations; he isn't fully house-trained and wears diapers. There are also hints of possible vision and hearing loss, but he still enjoys going outside and exploring life at his pace. He has a funny habit of sneezing when feeling sassy! Pluto would thrive in a calm, loving home where he can have a predictable routine and a cozy bed. If youโre patient and provide gentle affection, this quirky little guy will reward you with a unique bond. Senior dogs like Pluto have so much to offer. Could you be the person heโs been waiting for? Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
