Meet Crawfish the Cuddle Bug!
Crawfish is a 3 month old Terrier-Chi mix puppy born to Mama Feast and raised in our rescue with her siblings. She's the last to find a home, but we have no idea why, since both her fosters and our volunteers are pretty obsessed with her! Crawfish is a petite gal and will likely stay small; mom was only about 10 lbs.
Crawfish is the epitome of a lap dog. She's a champion snuggler who loves to be held and snoozes in a little croissant shape adorably on your lap. In between naps, she likes playing with her doggy foster siblings, sampling the many toys on offer, and pausing to gaze adoringly at her humans, begging to be picked up again! Her foster mom told us she makes an excellent neck warmer as well. There's pretty much no position this tiny gal can't contort into for more snuggle time!
Crawfish would love a home that wants to take her on adventures with them - even if it's just running errands. She'll easily fit in a doggy purse or can ride along in a sling.
Whoever adopts this precious nugget is in for a lifetime of cuddles!
