MEET RORY….and he is raring to go! We might not be so sure of his breeds, but this 1.5 yr old, gold/white, 11 lb (a bit underweight), Maltese/Spaniel/Terrier ??? pupster has to be the absolute SWEETEST dog we have ever had! He doesn’t shed…but his breed(s) have stumped us except awesome (and he doesn’t shed)! He came to us from the Moreno Valley Shelter, scared to death and didn’t want to engage with anyone there, so they deemed him “not nice.” I beg to differ! Rory wants to meet everyone on the street — dogs and people alike. He does have a bad habit of jumping up to people on walks but sometimes when we go to introduce him, he becomes shy!

Rory loves his walks, belly rubs and being up on high places! He does get mischievous and sometimes wants to get into “stuff” — so guard your garbage and anything you hold dear! He won’t destroy anything — at least he hasn’t here — but you never know. He’s only a puppy!! He is quiet, likes other dogs but we don’t believe he has to have one in his life. He’s mainly people oriented and loves attention and being loved. He deserves it 10000000%. He’s even getting the hang of potty training (squats to pp and is NOT a marker)….but no promises at your house!

If you are looking for a best friend…Rory will blend into any family situation, except he won’t enjoy being left behind. We don’t know his tolerance for cats, but he is very submissive so he would probably be fine. Not a big barker and no separation anxiety that we’ve seen — just a wonderful soul looking for a forever home. Might that be with you?
