About Pebbles

Pebbles is a spirited young dog in foster care in Norwalk, CT. At approximately 4 years old and weighing around 20 lbs, he thrives on companionship and loves to perch himself on anything that allows him a better view—tables, chairs, even his foster's desk! A true lap dog at heart, he will gladly sit on laps for as long as you’ll have him. While he prefers to walk on a harness rather than a leash, he will need some additional training to help him adjust. He gets along well with his canine foster buddies but tends to prefer following his foster everywhere rather than engaging in play. Pebbles seems to be house-trained and has a hearty appetite, especially for roast chicken. Regular grooming is required to maintain his stunning long coat, and he does well at the groomers. Please note that Pebbles has not been evaluated with cats or young children, and he should be placed in a home with children aged 8 and above. The adoption fee is fully sponsored, meaning no charge for this charming boy! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
