Year Old · 11 lbs · He / Him
Pimento takes his time warming up to you until you sit down, then he simply rolls over for a belly rub. He is completely disarming, and it tells you everything you need to know about this little guy. At just one year old, he carries that perfect mix of shy sweetness and playful curiosity that only a young dog can pull off, the kind that makes you laugh and then immediately reach for your phone to take a photo.
Pimento is small-framed and sturdy at eleven pounds, just the right size to tuck under your arm, nestle into your lap, or settle in the seat beside you on a car ride, which he handles like a seasoned traveler. His coat is a soft, warm red with a blond mini mohawk that gives him a look entirely his own. He is the kind of dog people stop to ask about.
He adores other small dogs and greets them the way only a genuinely friendly dog can, tail wagging, eyes bright, and flashing that unmistakable little-teeth grin that signals he means only the best. Pimento does best with a compatible small dog companion in the home and a secure yard where he can explore safely. His buddy and sibling is Zyrella, and the two of them are something special together, though they are welcome to be adopted separately. He is actively learning to walk on a leash and settling into his foster home routine with real steadiness, showing every day that this is a boy who is ready to grow into the life waiting for him.
Pimento is a healthy, happy boy with no shortage of personality packed into a very small frame. If you have loved a dog before, if you know the particular joy of a small, fluffy companion who travels well, plays gently, and snuggles deeply, then you already know exactly what Pimento is offering. He just needs someone ready to say yes.
A note on his coat: Pimento's soft, wavy coat is hypoallergenic and may grow longer and more luxurious over time, a wonderful bonus for families who love a well-groomed companion.
Pimento's adoption fee is $600, which covers all of his vetting, including vaccines, spay/neuter, heartworm/Ehrlichia/Lyme testing, fecal test, pre-op blood work, dental cleaning, microchip, and grooming if needed.
