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 doesn't need to be the center of attention and is happy to go with the flow, and that is exactly how he wins you over. Cricket is estimated to be around 5 years old and weighs 41 lbs. While his breed is a guess, we see a little pittie, maybe a dash of whippet, and a whole lot of "perfectly made just as he is." Cricket fits in beautifully with all dog personalities, from tiny chihuahuas to big pitties. His foster says he "just gets it!" He reads the room, matches energy effortlessly, and knows when it's time to play and when it's time to relax. At home, he's all about comfort and connection. He's 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 – his signature move, the Cricket Classic. He's social and affectionate with people, and will sneak in a kiss when you least expect it. He's gentle with kids and has a natural demeanor that makes people feel comfortable around him. Out and about, he's 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 doesn't need constant activity to be happy, but he's always up for joining you when adventure calls. Cricket is the perfect timed, easy best friend from day one.
