WEB MEMO: A volunteer writes: King Wiggle Butt, as I like to call him, has two very distinct faces: The pre and post poop. He was so serious when I first got him out, worried looking but as soon as he relieved himself, it was like a weight was lifted off his shoulders and and he started running around the pen, smiling ear to ear. It’s easy to see why the “Wiggle” was added to his name, as he is loose and very waggy as he plays. He has lived with an eleven year old child and reportedly got along well with him. He’s lived with another dog and was playful and affectionate toward him and in playgroup has a gentle, wiggly play style but can sometimes be sexually motivated. Kings owner says he loves to play with toys, is good at fetch and would likely do well in a family with kids. King Wiggles is ready to wiggle his way into your heart and home. Ask to meet him today!
