Description
Blythe is sleek, shiny, and handsome with big ears. He is on the smaller side of medium with lanky legs. He has a happy go lucky, low maintenance disposition.

Personality
This little guy we named Blythe, is quiet and independent, and doesn't require your constant attention to keep himself entertained. He is outgoing now, but was very quiet and submissive for the 1st several months in his foster home. He eventually came out of his shell and became very playful once he felt more confident in the new place. He gets wiggly and excited when you pay him affection, but is never demanding or in your face. He is so soft and silky you won't want to stop petting him.
Blythe is sweet and obedient. He likes to hang out in his crate with the door open. He won't get up on the bed unless invited and gets off if told to do so. He loves going outside and doesn't mind the weather no matter what it is. He picks up on commands quickly and learns from other dogs' examples. He loves playing with other dogs and chasing around the yard. This puppy is an easy boy who loves being loved and reciprocates your affection.

Background
Blythe was probably only about 4 months old when found abandoned at a long term stay hotel along 290 in Houston the 2nd week of January 2025. Management had called animal control but no one came to get him. It was cold and he was skin and bones. He was living under a staircase for 5 days where residents had given him a hotel towel to sleep on. When he heard the volunteer call to him he started wiggling excitedly and licking her hands. He was timid and resistant about being put on a leash, but then he was quiet and very good on the ride home in the truck, even when a 2nd dog was also picked up. Happy to announce that he had already filled back out 1 week later after eating well, and playing with all other foster dogs.
