Meet Rain! Rain has not had the easiest start to life as far as finding a family goes. His first owners couldn't keep him bc they lost their home. Another family stepped in to take him but he's just more than they can handle, as they are used to very small dogs and cats. Rain currently lives with a 12 lb. Shih Tze/ Yorkie mix and several cats. He does chase the cats from time to time but it's all in good fun as he has never tried to actually catch one.

Rain is currently living with a 3- & 11-year-old and does great with them. Rain loves to be pet, loves to sit and/or lay at your feet, and sometimes considers himself to be a lap dog. We put him as older dogs only bc he's got a goofy personality, is not always aware of his size and could accidentally knock a little one over. He loves chew toys (his hard rubber tire is his favorite) and stuffies. Ever the opportunist, he will steal the kids toys if they are left out and about. He also likes to chase after balls in the yard but don't expect him to return them to you.

Don't let his lack of retrieval skills fool you. Rain is a smart boy who has just never been taught to bring his balls back. He's completed obedience class with John Gagnon. There he leaved sit, down, paw, leave it, and inside. He is housebroken and crate trained. He's food motivated so he'd be happy to learn more if you are willing to teach him.
