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 heโ€™s ready. Pluto loves his crinkly toys and enjoys short play sessions, particularly a game of fetchโ€”just 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 youโ€™re 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 heโ€™s been waiting for? Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
