Cricket Couch Champ

Easygoing, affectionate, couch-rolling, and just a little bit sneaky with the kisses... this is Cricket. This pint sized boy is the kind of dog who doesnt need to be the center of attention and is happy to go with the flow and that is exactly how he wins you over.

Go watch Crickets video on YouTube, then come right back, because this good-natured, go-with-the-flow guy has more to share than just his signature couch moves. nhttps://youtu.be/2VtaSd1l5oc

Cricket is estimated to be around 5 years old and weighs 41 lbs. As for breed, with rescue its always our best guess, but we see a little pittie, maybe a dash of whippet, and a whole lot of perfectly made just as he is.

Hes currently fostered in a loving home with a full spectrum of dog personalities, from tiny, opinionated chihuahuas to big, playful pitties, and Cricket fits in beautifully with all of them. His foster says- he just gets it! He reads the room, matches energy effortlessly, and knows when its time to play and when its time to relax. It makes living with him feel easy and so natural. At home, he is all about comfort and connection. Hes fully house and crate trained, settles in without fuss, and has a deep appreciation for the finer things in life... like a good couch and a proper roll-around before drifting off into a nap. Its kind of his signature move. Call it the Cricket Classic.

Hes social and affectionate with people, he will absolutely sneak in a kiss when you least expect it and then carry on like nothing happened. Hes gentle with kids, warm without being overwhelming, and has a natural demeanor that makes people feel comfortable around him. Out and about, hes a great little sidekick. He rides well in the car, has the basics of leash walking down, and approaches the world with a calm, steady presence. He doesnt need constant activity to be happy, but hes always up for joining you when adventure calls.

Crickets foster told us all about how he just blended into her home and life and it is easy to imagine how beautifully he will settle into his forever home when the time comes. He is not flashy, not over-the-top... just consistently grateful, sweet company with a playful little streak and a heart full of quiet affection.

If you're looking for a dog who is perfectly timed as an easy best friend from day one, Cricket is ready and waiting to get started.
