Pop

Hello, I'm Pop! I'm a happy-go-lucky pup with super soft fur and adorable white markings on my nose. I absolutely love to snuggle, and I have a special fondness for sleeping near the oven when it's on for extra warmth. I also really enjoy the snow! My fur is thicker and fuller than most pitties, suggesting I might have some Border Collie in me. I arrived with my brother and sister from New Mexico, but my memories of that time are a bit fuzzy since I was so young.

I'm proud to say I'm potty trained! I'll let you know when I need to go out by lying down by the door. I'm also kennel trained, but I have to admit, I'm not a big fan of being confined. I'm quite the escape artist and tend to bark when inside my kennel. However, I won't destroy anything if left out when no one is home. At night, I love to sleep as close to my foster mom as possible – she's so warm!

I know "sit," "stay," "wait," and "come." I'm currently working on "down" and "off." Food is my obsession, especially peanut butter and yogurt! While I don't get table scraps, I get plenty of tasty dog treats and will do anything for them. I can be a bit overly enthusiastic when taking treats, but my foster mom is working with me on being gentle.

I live with a wonderful 10-year-old foster sister and have met all her friends. I can be a little shy with new people, especially children, and may bark initially as I warm up. I mean no harm, and after a few minutes, I'll come around and shower them with kisses! I'm still learning my manners, so a family with older, dog-savvy children would be ideal for me. I'm not sure what cats are, but I absolutely adore other dogs! I'm my slightly younger foster brother's emotional support dog – he needs to be beside me at all times. I also love playing with my big foster sister, who is almost two and weighs 55 lbs. We play tug, keep away, and chase daily. My big foster brother, almost four and 96 lbs, tolerates my playful nudges, but I need to be gentle as he's recovering from surgery. My favorite activities with other dogs include wrestling, zoomies, and tug-of-war. I also enjoy neighborhood walks.

Why am I the best dog in the world? I'm smart and eager to learn! I want to be friends with everyone, though I take my time warming up. I love to snuggle and be loved, and I'm ready for adventures and exploration. I'd make a great hiking buddy and travel companion. Ultimately, I just want to be with my people, have a canine friend, and live the best life.

A dream day for me would include a morning walk, a good breakfast, lots of playtime, a morning nap, a lunch snack, more playtime, an afternoon nap, dinner, more playtime, snuggles, and a final potty break before bed.

I'm most like Puff the Magic Dragon because my foster mom made up her own lyrics to the song for me! My favorite toys include stuffies and hard plastic chew toys. Anything for a good game of tug is a winner! I prefer to play as much as possible, with long naps in between. What makes my tail wag the hardest is when my people come home and take me out of my kennel – it's party time!

My dream forever family would have older kids, another dog, and enjoy an active lifestyle. Sleeping in bed with my person is a must! I deserve an awesome family that will continue to work with me on my quirks and celebrate my amazingness every day! Could this be you?
