About Reggie

Adoption Fee: $tbd
Rat Terrier / Italian Greyhound
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

Reggie spent his early life fighting to survive the hostile environment of a S California ghetto. We don't know all that he endured, but he bears the torn ear to prove his hardship. He also has luxating patellas and cannot move too fast- it's amazing he survived at all. He was caught and taken to a high kill shelter where he was so terrified, almost no one could handle him. I saw his pitiful picture on one and knew if I did not help him, he had no chance. It was quite a feat to get him out of the shelter and on a transport to make the 500 mile journey to me. He arrived in the wee hours on a cold, dark night. He didn't know if I was friend or foe but he de died to trust and clung to me the entire drive home. He has shown that he is really an incredibly loving, faithful little guy who just desperately wants someone to love and to love him. He is smart and eager to please. He will stay by your side forever and defend you with his life if he needs to. You will never find a more loyal dog! He has slipping knees so he is not able to go for long walks but he loves to walk around the yard or take a short trip around the block. He's a lapdog , mostly. He's housebroken and wellmannerred inside. Due to his very tough start he is not compatible with cats or poultry or small creatures. He's fine with other friendly gentle dogs. He needs a quiet home with a gentle person or family that is not too loud or boisterous. He'd be happiest without young children, unless they are very gentle. He'd be ideal ffor an older retiree or a work at home type. He'd be great for a bedridden person who needs a constant companion! Reggie is different looking on the outside but inside he is 100 % gorgeous. Won't you please give him a chance to show you how wonderful he truly is?
