Hi I'm Pudding! So nice to meet you. I'm around 2-3 years old-30 lbs (VERY DAINTY). I was rescued with my 4 month old son from a shelter hours away from euthanasia I am LUCKY! I am dog social, kid friendly and ready for a home of my own! I am getting the hang of all house stuff (crate training, house breaking). I am active but not wild. I can't wait to meet you! *please note All of our dogs are in private foster homes. Once you fill out an application it will be screened by our volunteer adoption team. From there, if your application looks like a good fit for the particular dog, it will be sent to the foster where you can ask all the questions you would like and schedule a meet and greet.

Mixed / Unknown breed

This dog's breed isn't known, so here's general guidance for mixes.

🧠 Temperament

I am dog social, kid friendly and ready for a home of my own!. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.

🎾 Exercise

Most adult dogs do well with 30-60 minutes of walking a day plus play and sniffing time.

✂️ Grooming

Brush regularly, bathe as needed, keep nails trimmed and ears clean.

🏙️ In an LA apartment

I am getting the hang of all house stuff (crate training, house breaking). Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
