About Pineapple

Meet Pineapple !! ��|� ��%8D%8D Is he terrifyingly adorable? Does he have teeth for days? Is he the next TikTok sensation? Was his daddy a vampire bat? We think so. A unique tiny cutie that's sure to start conversations anywhere you go and yes, he is in fact from West Virginia ������%A4�'�%8D��'ە�%8F He is one of the 13 dogs we took in from a horrible hoarding situation. He survived being in a feces covered home during freezing temps with no heat, no water and no electricity for a very long time. The dogs there all had to fight over very little food and resources. After surviving all that his foster bailed out on him and left him again scrambling for safety. This sweet tiny boy just wants to feel safe and have a family to love. Pineapple is approx 3 years old. He is a male Yorkie and Chihuahua mix best guess. He weighs 6 Pounds. He was one of the skinniest ones and is still regaining weight back. He has a smaller eye on one side due to a birth defect. He will be neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped as part of his adoption. He is heartworm negative and on monthly preventions. This guy had it really bad in the hoarding house. Being tiny and having an odd jaw shape he lost the battle for food more than he won. He is shy at first in a new place then he quickly decides people are the best things ever. He becomes a very clingy guy that is always looking for a lap to snuggle in. He really wants to be with you all the time. Pineapple really loves to be with you once he trusts you. He loves being carried around or just to sit in your lap. He's got a big heart to match those big teeth. He has done really well with other respectful dogs. He may bark at them at first but it's just fear until he sees he's safe. He's fostered with a Belgian Mal puppy and does great with him. He's fostered with cats to and does fine but will growl when they come close if he's eating. He has also done good with children so far. As with any dog he would need any children in the house to be respectful and not treat him like a toy. Pinapple is still working on his training but he's really starting to catch on. He does well with crate training but can be vocal the first few days. After that he is just vocal when he needs to potty. He has done very well on car rides and does not get sick. He had clearly never been on a leash before and is terrified of it. He will learn with time and practice but is not there yet. He is not fully potty trained but he's doing really well. He came from a place where they were trapped inside and had no options for going anywhere else. He is starting to learn about going outside to potty. He prefers you don't look at him while he handles his business but he's really getting the hang of it. Pineapple was in a situation where he had to fight over limited food and resources from the other dogs in the home. He is not terrible about food aggression toward other dogs but will growl if they approach his bowl. We suggest allowing him to eat in his kennel where he can take his time and not feel threatened or pressured. He has no issues at all sharing with people. He has a low to medium energy level so far. He loves to follow you around the house and wait for a chance to cuddle. He is just starting to play more now that he feels safer in his foster home and will chase a ball around some. We expect he may get a little more energetic once he fully decompresses. Overall this little oddball is super sweet and loving. He's trying hard to be a good boy and overcome what he's been through. If you can love him despite his crazy looks he's ready to be you're loyal snaggle toothed companion. Vet and home checks required. Located in Hampton VA.
