My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet 10k!
We believe 10k also known as Steven is believed to be 3-4ish years of age, hound lab maybe Staffy bull terrier mix, absolutely a super mutt mix.

Homebody, introvert, solitary, loner, hermit. These are all words that perfectly describe the person or persons our boy 10K (aka Steven) is looking for in a forever home.

We get it, some people see these words and cringe or shy away. But the truth is not everyone likes going out all the time or being constantly busy, and neither does 10K. He gets along well with people he meets, but truly prefers his home to be his private oasis. He is not a fan of a bustling household where family, friends or neighbors are constantly coming and going. Don’t get us wrong, he loves getting out for daily walks and does great meeting new people outside of the home, but his home is where he wants to kick back and relax without concern of others interrupting or invading his space (and I can’t say I blame him!).

Other things to know about 10K (aka Steven) is that he loves his humans with everything he has. He is what we refer to as a stage 5 clinger and is not opposed to spooning (he wants all the snuggles). And we get it, not everyone will enjoy that but we also know there are a lot of people who want that constant sidekick. And we do mean constant. He wants someone who will be home with him more often than not. And if you do need to leave, well he wants to tag along. He would love a home where his family either works from home or has a stay at home parent. If you do need to leave him at home be prepared for a pouty, pittie party because this boy can also be dramatic if he knows you are about to leave him (see pictures of said pout while foster mom gets ready for work). 10K is good with kids, dogs and cats. His best buddy is a grumpy bossy chihuahua.

So if you too consider yourself a homebody and want a snuggly sidekick, then 10K is your guy.

10K is house and crate trained, up to date on all appropriate core vaccines including lepto, corona and rabies, dewormed, fecal tested negative, micro-chipped, neutered, and current on monthly heart-worm flea/tick prevention.

We believe training is an ongoing process that needs to be worked on daily. New issues that arise, need to be addressed and/or rewarded. Understanding that continued training is a lifetime commitment, is very important. Out-of-state adopters are welcome at the adopter's expense. Meet & Greets are required before proceeding with an adoption. We DO NOT ship any of our pets.
