Pokey (Must be adopted with Stu)

My story

Apply to Adopt Me! NOTE: Pokey and Stu are bonded and must be adopted together Meet Pokey! He’s an adorable 12-year-old Maltese mix looking for his forever home with his buddy Stu. This little guy is 12 pounds of love. All he wants is to be with his person. He is a Velcro dog, following you from room to room, where you sit is where he wants to be. Don’t let his age fool you though, he still has some spunk in him, still has that spring in his step, and loves his morning and evening strolls that he takes with his buddy Stu. He’s potty trained when let out regularly but prefers to do his #2 on his walk. He loves car rides even if it’s just around the neighborhood. He is shy when you first meet him but he’s very food motivated and can be won over with a soft treat. And once you have earned his trust, he will not leave your side. He prefers to sleep in the hooman bed - sleeping through the night like a champ. He has the cutest personality and loves rolling around every morning in the sheets and pillows, using his voice, letting you know how happy he is. He also had dental work done and has no teeth so soft food is a must. He is fine with other dogs and cats and leaves them alone. He’s not interested in toys except he will engage in play behavior when his foster momma is playing with their 5 yr old shih tzu. He is a laid back, low maintenance dude that got a stellar review at the groomer. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and are looking for the most loving, laid back companion to keep you company while you binge watch your favorite TV show, then this guy and his buddy Stu are the perfect dream team for you!
