Pogo

My story

This boy’s happy energy … wow! Pogo’s body and tail wiggles so hard, it is contagious. Makes you want to get down and wiggle right along with him! Watch out for hard surfaces when his tail is swinging. He swings it so hard that he broke the tip of it and has to have it surgically repaired :/ Pogo is a super social guy. He is so sweet, loves everyone and every dog he meets. If he sees a dog but isn’t close enough to it where he can sniff and engage in a, ‘Hello! I am Pogo’, he screams. Oh yes, the scream is so big you think he is a 100lb dog! Nope, he is a little dude. Just 17lb! He quiets down as soon as he can go over to say hello 😊 Otherwise, he generally does not make a beep. He walks well on a leash, just mild pulling because he is excited to explore. Off leash, he loves to run as fast as his little legs would take him. Pogo is the best car passenger. He likes to put his legs on the windowsill and look out the window. When he needs a break, he lays down quietly, curls up and falls asleep to the rhythm of the car. Pogo is a lousy grooming client. He wiggles the entire time and needs one, maybe two helpers to either distract him or hold him down so the groomer can do his/her job. Pogo is 2.5-3 years old, 17lb Poodle mix. He is looking for a family with a resident dog(s) he can hang out with when the humans are at work, or go places where pups aren’t allowed. He appears to be house broken. He is not a fan of the crate. He prefers to be where his humans or doggie friends are. Considering how wiggly Pogo is, he must be in a harness when leaving the house for activities. A Freedom harness is the best, secured harness for him.
