Can you imagine being stuck in a kennel at a shelter for months? Up until recently, that was my life. My name is Pumba and boy, am I happy to be out of there!

Now I get to spend my days playing in my new foster home. I have a lot of fun there, but I know it’s not the same as having a forever home- I sure would like one of those soon!

Let me tell you a little bit about myself and hopefully you’ll think I’m the perfect addition to your home. I’m ~10 months old, so I’m still a playful pup, but old enough to know some basic commands already. I weigh ~40 lbs. now, but I may reach up to ~55-60 lbs. when I’m finished growing- I still need to get some meat on my bones! These nice people even already made sure that I’m up to date on my vaccines, neutered and heartworm negative. While I am house and crate trained, I prefer to spend my down time relaxing on the couch at my foster parents’ house, so I hope you’re ready to snuggle up and watch some TV when you get home from a long day at work. There are other dogs that live with me and I’m not sure how I feel about them- I think I may prefer being the only dog in the home so I can have all of your attention to myself. I am working on learning how to share my toys- I’m not very keen on sharing right now because I’ve never had anything that’s mine before! I think I like these children that I live with better than the dogs- they’re nice and cuddly. I hear there’s these creatures called cats, but I don’t have any of those at my foster parents’ home- I’ve met a couple of them before and thought they were kind of weird, so I kept my distance. Here’s the sad part about my story- I have been diagnosed with hip dysplasia in both of my hips. The nice people here at my rescue group are treating me with joint supplements and making sure I get plenty of exercise so that I can become stronger and feel better.

I hope this doesn’t stop you from wanting to take me home- I’ve definitely got the personality and charm to make up for it! Contact my rescue people today and ask them about meeting me- I promise you won’t regret it and you may just fall in love.
