Anderson Pooper

My story

Anderson is playful, snuggly, and full of puppy energy. He loves running in the yard, chasing toys, and wrestling with his foster sibling. He’s social, gentle, and learning to walk on leash. He’s also getting the hang of potty pads and doing well with frequent trips outside. He’s perfectly content to curl up beside you or sleep in your lap. He’s still a bit cautious in new situations, but his confidence grows daily. His joy does too. This tiny pup has already been through a lot in his young life. Born March 12 to a Chihuahua dad and a Maltese mom, Anderson Pooper was lovingly raised by his original owner. When her living situation changed unexpectedly, she was forced to move after her landlord decided to renovate and add an ADU. Tearfully, she reached out for help rehoming her beloved puppy. Thankfully, we were able to step in and get Anderson into rescue. Anderson arrived with no prior medical care and a severe case of mites. His skin was so inflamed that he would cry when touched, especially on his tender little face. He was immediately placed in foster care where he began receiving treatment and lots of TLC. Now, just a few weeks later, he’s made an incredible recovery and is thriving. Anderson Pooper is vaccinated, healed, and looking for a forever home where he’ll be safe, loved, and never left behind. He’s a special little guy with a big heart and a bright future. --------------- Looking to Adopt? Submit a Rescue Questionnaire! Please be thorough in your answers.
