Peter, our 2 year old 9 pound chihuahua mix, won Best Smile when we put together our Stumptown Strays yearbook. It was no contest, really. He's keen to show off his pearly whites when he's happy, which is all of the time. We can't wait to see his smile when we tell him we found him a home.
Found stray, Peter was likely hit by a car. His rear leg was badly damaged and, sadly, could not be saved. We took him in to amputate his leg and get him ready for adoption. Now that he's healed, Peter is learning that tripods can do anything 4 legged dogs can do.
We would be hard pressed to find a negative thing to say about Peter. The closest we can come up with is that he periodically marks a chair that other dogs in his foster home have marked. But, really, that's just Peter trying to fit in! Otherwise Peter is perfectly potty and crate trained. He loves greeting his foster family in the morning and always showcases his award winning grin.
At home, Peter has been great with other dogs and respectfully ignores cats. He is generally very quiet. Peter is energetic and playful, and loves a game of fetch. He also requires chew toys; otherwise Peter may make a chew toy out of the tassels on your pillow. Peter has never met a stranger and is remarkably friendly and cuddly.
Peter is heartworm negative and current on his preventatives.
