Frosty

It's the perfect time to cool down with Frosty! He was surrendered to animal control looking like a swamp thing with some matted dreadlocks hanging over his face, but after a sedated trim and neuter, we found a pretty cute little scruffy terrier mix underneath. He was very scared in the shelter and didn't have the best behavior notes from his previous home – some food aggression and not always nice to all members of the family, and he wasn't cooperative for grooming. But he has warmed up pretty nicely, craves human attention, dances and smiles, and gets along well with other dogs. He's 2 1/2 years old, under 15 lbs, and some kind of Maltese/Yorkie/Jack Russell type, we think. He does shed and doesn't have the type of hair that mats easily unless he was never touched or brushed. He wasn't a fan of the vet or being restrained, but he has been letting us pick him up and is a pretty agreeable guy as long as you respect his space and limits. He has a lot of potential for someone who understands quirky little dogs and will treat him like a real dog and not a stuffed animal purse dog to dress up and fuss over too much. Too much smothering and hugging may cause him to melt.
