Dewey, our 17 pound 11 year old Chiweenie, claims he's trying to "bulk up". He's always very interested in eating and has never turned down a snack. However, we've never seen Dewey lifting weights. In fact, he prefers to lay on his back so someone (anyone?) can give him a belly rub. Good thing Dewey can't buy his own groceries; his idea of "bulking up" is a lot more Shrek than Superman.

Found stray, the shelter reached out to us to help with Dewey's teeth. It seems Dewey had not been flossing between meals and he needed to have several teeth extracted. He's recovered from that procedure, can chew just fine, and is now ready for his own home.

Dewey is very friendly to the point of clinginess. He loves to know where all of his people are and follows them from room to room. When left alone, he cries a little howl so would be best with someone who is home often. Thin walled apartments may not work for him; although Dewey's quiet when he's not a bit sad. Potty-trained and not destructive, Dewey is an easy guy to hang out with. He's cuddly, gently playful, funny and sweet.

Dewey was found wandering with another dog and seems to do well with other low energy dog pals. High energy dogs might rub him the wrong way. He is great on a leash and loves saying hello to people. We have not seen Dewey with cats, but suspect an introduction to a dog-savvy cat would work fine.

Dewey is microchipped and is current on his flea and heartworm preventatives.

Don't mind having a low-rider friend watching your every move? Been wondering how to address all the crumbs that have been falling to the floor? Dewey may be the dog for you.
