About Briggs

Briggs is an 8-pound doxie/Morkie mix who believes every person was put on Earth for one reason: to rub his belly. He's about 3 months old, full of heart, and convinced every dog he meets is his long-lost cousin. He'll bounce right into the middle of the action, then five minutes later be upside down in somebody's lap collecting belly rubs. His mama is a sweet Morkie Dachshund mix under 20 pounds, so Briggs is expected to remain travel-size. Briggs is shamelessly happy, seeing every person as a friend, every dog as a potential playmate, and every couch as a nap destination. He's the kind of puppy that makes you stop whatever you're doing because it'd be rude not to pet him.

Ideal Home

Briggs absolutely loves other dogs and takes so much confidence from them. We'd love to see him join a home with another playful canine sibling to show him the ropes. He's happiest when he has both a best friend to wrestle with and a human to snuggle afterward. Homes with children 10 years and over are recommended to ensure the best fit for both the pets and families involved.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions are mentioned.

Training & Support

Briggs is a puppy and is a work in progress, as are all rescue pups. He comes with quirks and a heart that has seen a lot but still chooses to trust again. Adoption isn't about perfection; it's about presence and showing up for them every day.
