A volunteer writes: Poochie?! More like Smoochie! All this fine gentleman wants to do when I sit down with him is smother my face with kisses. And the feeling is mutual: I love him just as much as he loves me! Poochie’s got it all. He’s adorable–he’s a healthy weight (and has a healthy appetite to match), has a pretty brindle coat, and a smile that will melt the coldest of hearts. His manners are impeccable: he knows how to sit, give paw and even lie down on command. Furthermore, he seems very housetrained, often holding it until he gets taken out for a walk. Poochie’s former owner indicated that he’s good with kids, strangers and small dogs. Here at the center, he has been playful and sociable with other calm small dogs. Poochie reportedly gets nervous with loud noises and likes to be comforted by having a blanket wrapped around him. Awww… The only thing it seems Poochie lacks, is YOU! Ask to meet him today!
