Small in name, big on presence, that is Guppy! This boy is an attention-getter- the squishy face and connection seeking eyes can convince anyone to give him a little love or a free-treat. His favorite things, in no particular order, Guppy loves- kisses, booty scratches, sharing treats with his new girlfriend, and apples. Yes, apples! Maybe not that surprising but what makes it especially fun is the chompy-chomp sound it makes when he chews them, if you have ever fed a horse an apple or an apple slice, you know the sound- it is so good! We all agree, our favorite thing about Guppy is his tippy-tappy dance, reserved for his favorite people. Imagine that big beefcake greeting you at the door doing his little dance! My heart! Guppy is currently in a foster home, and his foster mom says he is just like a little potato. Whatever you are doing, Guppy is just happy to tag along wherever you're going. Guppy is such a go with a flow pup, that he greets his foster mom, or his foster's brother who comes over to visit, the absolute same! He is all tippy taps and ready to say hello, because after all, he's ready for all the loves and scratches. His favorite spot is out in the yard where he can sunbathe and get his tan on, and when he isn't sunbathing outside, he wants to play with the water house and loves getting the water when it comes right out of the hose. When he isn't outside, Guppy is most content cuddling with his person, or his family. He is truly a couch potato, and when he's laying there next to you, he would love a kong or lick mat too while you snack on popcorn watching a movie, this boy loves his peanut butter and treats! The best part about Guppy? Guppy is also content with just hanging out in his crate, whenever you want a break from cuddles, or want to give him some chill out time in his safe space. He is so great in his crate, that in fact he is crated a handful of hours daily when his foster mom is at work, and is a total champ in his crate, and happily goes right in. Bonus if you leave him in his crate with his favorite green crab toy that he adores. Guppy also loves going to the beach! He loves the feeling of sand under his paws, the smell of the saltwater, and at the end of the day hanging at the beach house. This guy loves water! He will be your buddy wherever you go. Guppy is estimated to be 6 years old and is likely an American bulldog/Pittie mix. Of course, given Guppy is a rescue, we cannot guarantee breed or age. Another one of our favorite things about Guppy, is how great he is with kids!! He has spent a lot of time with our Director of Behavior and Intakes son and she is constantly impressed by his patience, tolerance, and over relaxed nature around her 4 year old son. Yes he is relaxed in nature around her son but he knows how to be a fun silly guy as well. Kobe loves to toss around the toys for a little game of fetch and there's Guppy just hanging out watching the action and occasionally joining in as well. He was not bothered but us rolling around on the floor with him, running around like little minions, and wasn't phased by her son jumping on and off the couch too. Another thing that we were super impressed by was Guppy's patience and impulse control with her son's fruit bar especially since he loves his snacky snacks. Guppy would sit right next to him patiently watching, hoping for a little morsel to be dropped on the floor. There was even a time when some was dropped on the floor and her son went to go pick it up and Guppy did not go zooming over to it to gobble it up. He knew it was her son's snack and not his and when it is a snack for Guppy, he was very gentle when taking treats from him and was not pushy or overbearing. He also really enjoyed licking the cheese off of her son's fingers. He's a great pup to have around to help with the after dinner clean ups. We have introduced Guppy to a variety of dogs to gauge his play style and who he gravitates to naturally. It has been easy to see that he shines brightest when he is with the ladies. You can say he is a little bit of a ladies man with the furry type and also the human type LOL. His “type” continues to be the calmer, lower-energy females. Not to say that Guppy doesn't like to play, he does but his definition of play is few and short in between and he's gotta really be feeling it. His play consists of a few seconds of romping around, maybe a few gentle body bumps here and there, then that's it. That's Guppy's play style. He does have a girlfriend, well a few actually, but his number one girlfriend is a wiggly senior female who has the same love of treats and laying around. The two of them together is just about the cutest and he really showed us he is quite the gentleman. If they were being offered treats, he always let her have one first, never once getting pushy. If looking to match-make your current dog in your home, Guppy would be a great companion for a female that matches his chill, low-energy approach to play and life. Guppy is also gentleman in his crate- he has not made a mess once in his crate. As for other pets, a no-cats or small animals home is needed. Whether its chickens or cats or similar- Guppy wants to chase and given his size that is an avoidable bit of chaos. On walks, Guppy’s excitement to be out and about greeting the people and seeing the sights, can lead to him pulling, so he is actively practicing leash training and making great progress everyday. The truth is though, this boy isn’t the outdoor hiking type, his interest in being outside, hanging out with his people while he gets his tan on, in fact his foster mom says that is his favorite spot to be. Since Guppy loves all things food related, he is extremely treat-motivated, which makes him a great candidate for continued teaching and training whether its just for fun or to polish him up to be a model best-boy, but he comes with the basic- a great sit and a good recall. Guppy is ready to find his forever home, where his low-maintenance personality and goofy nature will be cherished and his booty regularly scratched. If you’re looking for a hang-out all day, full of love, companion who will keep you smiling, Guppy could be the one for you. Fill out an application today! Questions?
