*Foster home 

My foster knows me better than anyone! Here's what they had to say about me during my time with them:

I am a sweet boy and once I know I'm safe, I warm up fast and transform into a world-class love bug. If you're looking for a loyal best friend who will literally hug you, I'm your guy! That being said, I haven't quite mastered my manners yet. When I finally see my favorite people, I get so excited that I tend to jump. I mean no harm; I just have a lot of love and nowhere to put it!

I've hung out with kids as young as 10 and we got along great. I'm a star on the night shift! I sleep quietly in my crate all night. I have a high "chew drive". If you leave your shoes out, I might mistake them for a snack. Just keep some fun toys around and I'll happily stick to those instead!

I'm available for Trial Adoption! If you're interested in taking me home for 2 weeks before making a final decision, please speak to an adoption counselor.

I'm currently in foster and ready for my new home! If you're interested in meeting me, please email caninefoster@southwesthumane.org

POOR Dog...he can't even see!  Don't get a*non-shedder* if you won't get it groomed
 
Meet Fozzie, a gentle 5-year-old soul who is looking for a soft place to land. This sweet, curly-haired boy is a bit of a "wallflower" at first; he finds the big, loud world a little intimidating and needs a patient human to show him he's safe. Once he knows he can trust you, Fozzie's fearful exterior melts away to reveal a quiet, devoted companion who just wants to be near his person. He would thrive in a calm, predictable home where he can take life at his own pace and finally blossom into the confident pup we know is in there. If you have a quiet corner and a lot of love to share, Fozzie is ready to be your most loyal friend!
