Denzel

My story

Hi there! My name is Denzel, and I’m a little dog looking for a big love. See 👀 I have a heart on my back! 🥰 Just a few months ago, I was a scared little 1 1/2 year old Jack Russell - Chi mix boy – hiding under a car in a shopping center parking lot. I was only 9 pounds of trembling fur, wondering where my world had gone and if anyone would ever find me. Luckily, the wonderful FCCR ladies scooped me up, and I landed in a pawmazing foster home. My tail started wagging again, my signature smile returned, and I discovered I am actually quite the little character! Turns out, being small doesn’t mean having a small personality – I’ve got energy for days and enough charm to win over anyone I meet. These days, I’m living my best life while I wait for my forever family. I’ve become quite the little gentleman. I walk beautifully on a leash, ready for adventures around the neighborhood or trips to the park. And oh, do I love car rides! There’s something magical about watching the world go by from the passenger seat. When I’m not out exploring, you’ll find me mastering the art of tug-of-war with my toy collection. I’m surprisingly strong for such a little guy – must be that Jack Russell determination! But my absolute favorite thing? Snuggling under the covers with my humans. There’s no better feeling than being wrapped up warm and safe, knowing I’m exactly where I belong. I’m proud to say I’m completely crate-trained. I’m also working hard on my housebreaking skills, and everyone says I’m learning incredibly fast. Smart and handsome? I know, I know – I’m quite the catch! The best part about me? I absolutely adore kids and get along wonderfully with other dogs. There’s something about little humans that just makes me light up, and having doggy siblings sounds like the perfect adventure. As for cats… I haven’t met any yet but hey, I’m a friendly guy so we might become friends. What I’m really looking for is a family who will appreciate all of me – my playful puppy energy, my impressive agility skills, my award-winning smile, and yes, even my work-in-progress house manners. I want people who understand that the best things come in small packages, and that sometimes the dogs who’ve had the roughest starts make the most grateful companions. Could that be you?
