Arrival Story:
I was looking for a dog out of the paper, i always felt so bad about all the dogs i would see in the paper and wondering what happened to them if they didnt get adopted as pups. I had my heart set on a purebred pug. But an ad caught my eye. it was for a shih tzu/pug mix and it said "clearance". it broke my heart to think that someone would label a puppy as that. i immediately phoned the number and scheduled an appointment to go see him. I drove almost 2 hours away and i arrived at a filthy, smelly, disgusting home. My roommate and i had to breath through our mouth trying to keep any bad scents from entering our nose. in the disgusting kitchen was a 6 foot cage full of puppies. all different kinds. i threw my money at the lady and just put my hand in the cage realizing that it didnt matter which dog i took because all of them needed to be saved. he threw up on the way home and needed tons of attention and vet appointments to get him well.

Bio:
this little dog has been my companion and sidekick for almost 5 years now. he is the sweetest little guy in the world! when i first brought him home, he could barely even walk. he was so weak! he needed tons of love and attention, clearly something he never got from a cage where he spent his early weeks of life. just like a human child, i taught this dog how to do everything, walk, jump, run, go up stairs and i encouraged his barely there barking skills by putting my pride aside and barking like a dog for him!
