About Horton

Meet Horton! This charming mix of Chow Chow and teddy bear is a soft, fluffy companion with a calm, easygoing personality and a huge heart. Expect him to follow you from room to room, ready to be your furry little shadow. At just 2 months old, Horton has already proven to be a champion sleeper, napping soundly for 12 hours on his first night. He adjusts quickly to new environments, remaining unobtrusive while also not minding some alone time. Potty training is going well; he finds the pee pad on his own and gets straight to business outside. Horton is gentle, has a good grasp of “sit,” and has shown a sweet, patient nature around children. He’s also food motivated, which will assist with his ongoing training. Charming in his clumsiness, Horton sometimes stumbles over his own paws while trying to navigate the playpen. If you’re looking for a loyal, snuggly sidekick who is full of love and a sprinkle of puppy charm, Horton might just be the perfect fit for you! This adorable pup comes with an adoption fee of $600, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, a microchip, and neuter. He has been tested with dogs, cats, and kids, and he's currently working on potty and kennel training in foster care. Don’t miss the chance to meet this special boy! Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
