Hi, I'm your little shadow with a happy hop!

I may only be 13 pounds but I've got a BIG personality and have an overflowing heart of love to share. I was picked up as a stray and spent some time in the pound, but now I'm living the good life in foster care and I'm read to find my forever family! I'm super AFFECTIONATE, LOVE ATTENTION, and when i get excited (which is often), I do the cutest little hop while I play. Oh, and I like to "talk" too...a little happy yappiness when I'm excited to see you!

This ADORABLE wire-haired terrier is the perfect mix of PLAYFUL and loving. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and truly LOVES ALL PEOPLE--he's never met a stranger. He's an ACTIVEc little guy who enjoys running and playing int he backyard, and he would thrive with a family that can keep up with his fun-loving energy.

Mr. Moby is doing great on leash and enjoys a neighborhood stroll making him an ideal companion for outings like coffee shops, outdoor cafe's or farmers markets. His SOCIAL personality makes him a joy to take along on adventures. He's crate trained and currently working on house training--he's a SMART pup who just needs consistency to finish learning. Mr. Moby is always eager to learn and please.

After he's had a chance to burn off some energy, he settles nicely indoors and is happy to curl up for a nap near his people. If you are looking for a FUN, affectionate and social little companion who will keep you smiling and moving, this charming terrier is your guy. An active home where he can play, explore and then relax by your side would be his dream come true. If you feel like you can give Mr. Moby a loving forever home please contact Freedom Street Rescue.
