Please welcome our newest little adventurer to Muttville! Raider is a 15 years-young fluffy black beauteous bean of a Pom, who has seen more than a few wild, daring adventures, sadly, not ALL of them fun and games. But he is quickly proving himself to be a strong, resilient, wonderful little dude. The main profile photo here is from a previous (non-Muttville) adoption, as he was in need of a glam-up spa treatment when he arrived. Soon, he will look even more gorgeous than this!! Shortly after arriving, he needed a few days to adjust (don’t we all?), but then his true personality emerged, and he was trotting about, greeting everyone with a cheerful Pom “hello!”, and generally settling in well. He loves people, dogs and walkies! Come meet Raider – we are certain you will not be disappointed to make the acquaintance of this very special pup.
Here’s some notes from his foster:
This little old man is such a sweet boy. He is so soft and such a cuddler, he is happiest just sitting with you and being pet. He definitely seems to be a morning pup, he snoozes after dinner ~7pm and is pretty much snuggled and snoozed until ~7am. He seems to have the most energy in the first half of the day and then is pretty mellow from late afternoon on.
He doesn’t necessarily go fast on walks but keeps up a pretty good pace! He also gets zoomies in the morning and likes when I chase him up and down the hallway. He goes out and does his business first thing when we wake up. Other than that we take him out a couple times during the day. He has been so friendly to every dog and human we come in contact with, we haven’t seen him be aggressive or growling at all. He did great being at Dolores all day during Easter and just slept in the shade the whole time. When we are home with him he doesn’t bark at the doorbell or other noises and seems to only start barking when he can’t find me.
I think Raider would do well in a home with someone who is home often and wants a dog that just wants to be by them all the time. He is such a little angel and he is so so cute!!
