About Garfield

Meet Garfield !! This super cute guy and his brother Odie (posted separately) ended up in an overcrowded shelter. Thankfully we were able to get them out safely and they are thriving! ***They need to go to SEPARATE homes*** Garfield is male and approx 1 year old. The person that turned them over to the shelter said they are Yorkie/Chi mix but the favor Jack Russell mixes more. He is currently 9.8 pounds and is full grown. He will be given several sets of vaccines, deworming, a microchip and neuter as part of his adoption. These two were definitely showing littermate syndrome when we picked them up. Once separated they have immediately flourished and are doing so much better. They will go to separate homes as that is what is in their best interest. Garfield is a happy, sweet and super fun dog. He loves everyone and everything and enjoys life so much. Really a fantastic personality. He is fun and spunky but also chills out when you do. Hes not a lapdog at all but does like to cuddle and be held once hes gotten all of his energy out. If anything exciting is going on hes up and in the middle of it. He loves all other dogs but has a serious humping problem. He doesnt care if they are male or female. Hes persistent but will stop if they snap at him and tell him no. If a dog is super passive he is relentless about it. Hopefully his upcoming neuter will help with that. He has never met cats but we can already see hes likely going to be too much for them. He isnt fostered with kids but did great with all the kids hes met so far. Any kids would need to be respectful and not treat him like a toy. Garfield is working on his training. Hes starting to figure out leash walking and is good on car rides. He currently hates his crate and is very vocal about it. Hes getting better each day. Hes not fully potty trained but gets more outside than inside at this point. We think he will catch on soon. He isnt as bad about marking as his brother but may do it some in a new place. He has not had any issues so far with sharing treats or toys with humans or other dogs. His foster feed his dog separately so we are not sure how he would do about sharing his food, but he is fine eating in his crate. He has a medium to high energy level. He definitely needs a good outlet for all that energy. He will run and play with you or other dogs. Hes very fun and is just excited about life. He cuddles and likes to be held as long as those energy needs are met first. Hes a great mix of excited energy and love bug. If youre looking for a smaller dog with a big personality he might be your guy! He is ready for adventures and anything fun. Home and vet checks required. No apartments- hes to vocal and energetic Located in Hampton VA. (He will need to be adopted within a 1 hour drive radius) !!Please message [email protected] directly with questions or to get an application For faster response and more pics visit our Facebook page
