Lenny

Lenny

It’s your lucky day as you’ve stumbled across the “barkography” of an awesome, family-friendly dog who will fit well into most any fantastic Family and will teach you a life-lesson (or two…or three…) along the way! 

I’m Lenny – a 3 year-young Terrier mix who is full grown at 10-lbs.  I get along well with all people including young children and even the large (relatively speaking, of course) guinea pig in my foster home.  In fact, the youngest human member of my foster family, received a “vet kit” as a birthday present and I’ve been the perfect patient – laying still and letting her complete recurrent “full check ups” on me! 

While I may look like a puppy, you don’t have to worry about any of that puppy-training as I’m already housetrained, crate trained and know a couple basic obedience commands.  I have yet to cohabitate with any cats or dogs but, given that I am very polite with the aforementioned guinea pig, I’m likely to get along swell with all well-behaved creatures.  Of course, I’ll need to meet all family members before we all commit to a life-long cohabitation relationship.

You may be wondering what “life-lessons” I can teach your family.  Well, in addition to teaching us all that homeless dogs (I was found running along a busy highway & no one claimed me) can be pretty darn fantastic (see above!), I can teach everyone a bit of tolerance.  You see, I am blind in my right eye (the vet says I was either born that way or sustained an injury when I was very young) and, therefore, my face appears a bit more unique.  However, I’ve compensated well and don’t even seem to notice that missing vision.  My foster mom has taken full advantage of my uniqueness in teaching the kiddos how great animals and people can be even if they look a little different. What a great opportunity for all of us, eh?!?!

So, there must be a down-side to such a seemingly perfect guy as myself, right?  Well, I am pretty dedicated to snuggling with you on the furniture and I hear some humans prefer to not share their furniture with canine companions.  Well, if you’re fantastic in every other way, I guess I could get used to a cozy dog bed (as long as you promise I can still regularly snuggle on your lap!)

I’m eagerly awaiting my Forever Family so if you think you might be that lucky human, please email pawscoadoptions@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application on the Paws & Co. Adoptions website today!
