Hello future family! My name is Henrietta Pussycat, mommy to the Mister Rogers Litter of 3. I was found as a stray in Mexico and made my way to MN with three beautiful baby boys. I always have a smile on my face for you and want to just cuddle with my humans more than anything else (and get all the belly rubs). My bug eyes make me look like I’m always a little surprised…and maybe I am…but I just feel lucky to be here. I am potty trained and haven’t had any accidents in the house (and in the severe cold I use potty pads). I am good in a kennel or pen, and really like having my own “space.” When I first meet you, I might be a little shy or timid, but with trust, treats and tail waggin’ pets, I will definitely come to you for all the love. I definitely would do best with a family with some patience to allow me time to figure things out and gain the confidence I am working towards. For that reason, older considerate children would be best. I would be perfectly happy being the only dog and getting all the attention. Although I do love the female dogs in my foster home, especially the Great Pyrenees. I am learning to be a “pet” dog. I don’t fully understand toys yet but have been working on puzzle toys with my babies, and have been “caught” engaging with toys by my human. I like meal toppers on my food…like many of my chi-buddies, I am a little picky with my food. I really like a wet food pate mixed with my kibble, or shredded mozzarella. Surprisingly….not a huge fan of peanut butter. I love treats though…mostly chicken tendons and jerkys as well as biscuits. Oh…and the whipped cream pup cup gets me every time! I am very treat motivated, and have been learning a few basic obedience things…but mostly we have been working on building confidence. I am learning to wait for treats to take them more gently. I am very attentive to my human and am good at following her directions while training. She says I am very smart and could become my best doggy self with a patient human. Are you the family for me? I always have a happy face for my human and just love to be near you! Belly rubs are my absolute favorite! Foster mom says that she can tell that I just want to please the humans…get the cuddles…and eat all the treats! I would do great with any family who wants to help train me to be my best self. I would be ok being the only dog in the household and soak up all the love for myself! Fill out an app to meet me…you won’t be disappointed!
