PINOCCHIO

Posted in Uncategorized at 5:05 pm by Administrator

My name is Pinocchio and I am a Lhasa Apso/Dandie Dinmont Terrier Mix.  I was the featured Fluff of the Week back in June, 2007 and I was mentioned again in a special FOTW column January 1, 2008.  The problem is, I’m still in my foster home and I am just not sure why!!  I am a very good boy and I REALLY would like to find my forever home.  Let me tell you a bit about myself again.

I am about 4 years old and I weigh about 18 pounds.  I think my foster mom named me Pinocchio because I have quite the long nose.  Better to sniff things with if I do say so myself!!  I can sniff-out my foster siblings left-over chew bones in nothing flat!!   My tongue hangs out a bit as I have an overbite.  My foster mom says that my cute little tongue AND my long eyelashes, make me quite the handsome lad.  She also says that I am very sweet and that’s definitely a plus!!
 

I am very playful and I love any attention that comes my way.  I’m a little bit territorial, but I manage to keep myself in line quite nicely.  I need to be in a home where I am not the top dog.  Leadership can go to my head and that can sometimes be a problem!!
 

I have a beautiful coat which my foster mom keeps short because it is easy for her to take care of.  I have what’s called a Dandie Dinmont haircut and my foster mom says it suits me to a T.  I have a lot of characteristics of a Dandie Dinmont, but I also have what’s called “Lhasitude”.  I definitely have the Lhasa Apso sense of humor mixed with the Dandie Dinmont sense of duty.  I want to make sure that my family is always protected – especially from CATS!!!  It would probably be best if my forever home did not have any of “those” around.
 

I will follow my foster mom wherever she goes and I love to curl up next to her when she is relaxing.  I just want to be around my people.  I would love a forever home where there would just be someone to love.  Older children would be great too and other dogs as I do get along well with my foster brothers and sisters.  My foster mom says that I am very good and that I would not disappoint my new forever family.  I am housetrained and I also really enjoy riding in the car. 
 

If you would like more information about me, please contact my foster mom at rymm2006@gmail.com.  You can also look at my Petfinder page.  Please consider me to be part of your family.  I would love to make you happy.
 

I am altered, up-to-date on all my shots, heartworm negative, and microchipped.
