Pupperoni is a wiggly and spunky little boy who is very excited to meet his forever people! He loves people and other dogs and shows his excitement by jumping around to let you know he's ready to make a new friend. Once that excitement has passed, Pupperoni is a pretty mellow guy. He enjoys short walks and is a bit slow, but with encouragement excels! He is polite around other dogs, sniffing them to say hello. Pupperoni does not mind being alone and uses that time to take refreshing naps. He loves to chew and his favorite toys are scented bone-shaped ones that let him indulge in chewing as much as possible.

Pupperoni enjoys being in the company of his person and will wake out of a deep sleep if his person leaves the room. He will sit in your lap if you sit on the floor with him and gives you little endearing finger kisses that will melt your heart.

Pupperoni came to with little bumps all over his body that turn out to be caused by a virus called canine viral papillomatosis. He is currently being treated with an antiviral therapy, and this should resolve by mid-January or earlier. Until the lesions clear up, Pupperoni is contagious to other dogs. Once his lesions are resolved, he will no longer be contagious and he should have lifelong immunity to the virus. This virus is not contagious to people.

Pupperoni is a good-natured boy, but if you accidentally touch a sore spot, he does nip a little and lets you know that is not a good place for him to be touched.

Pupperoni has a heart of gold and is a low maintenance, loving dog who is ready to find his forever home!
