About Pebbles

Pebbles is currently in foster care in Houston, Texas, and ready for his forever home. This young boy, about 4 years old and weighing around 20 lbs, is full of personality. He enjoys being close to people and loves to perch himself on chairs, tables, or any elevated spot he can jump to. True to a lap dog nature, Pebbles will happily curl up in your lap for as long as you'll allow. While he prefers harness walks over leashes, some training will still help him adapt better. Pebbles gets along well with his dog buddies, though playing isn’t his style; he much prefers to shadow his foster parent. He seems to be house trained and has a hearty appetite, especially for roast chicken, making him the first one in the kitchen at meal time. Regular grooming is important for this long-haired boy, but he is well-behaved at the groomers. We’re unsure how he is with cats or young children, so we don’t adopt to homes with kids under 8 years old. If you're ready to share your love with a delightful companion, Pebbles could be your perfect match. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
