Meet Squirtle (1yo, 40lbs)

Meet Squirtle:50 Pounds of Mayhem in a Fur Coat Ever wanted to adopt a frat boy trapped in a dog’s body? No? Well, too bad—Squirtle’s here, and he brought the party whether you RSVP’d or not. This 1-year-old bully mix is part dog, part toddler with zero boundaries, and part aspiring crime boss. He’s rowdy. He’s loud. He’s got opinions—mostly about how sharing is a scam and how your socks now belong to him. Social skills? Let’s call them “selective.” If another dog even thinks about getting attention while he’s in the room, Squirtle enforces his own rules of engagement. (Hunter and Sandy, his foster siblings, have filed formal complaints.) After awhile, he comes around!  Also… he once un-alived a dove. So unless your chickens are made of Kevlar, this ain’t your next farmhand. But don’t let the chaos fool you—Squirtle is smart. Like, “learns commands in three minutes” smart. He knows sit, down, crate, and is working on wait. “Leave it” came one murder too late, but hey—we’re learning. He wants structure. He needs structure. And if you don’t provide it? He’ll be running your household by Tuesday. When he’s not testing your leadership or turning toilet paper into confetti, Squirtle enjoys pretending to be tough—right up until you call his bluff and he hits you with the “Who, me?” eyes. He’s all bark, a little bite, and a whole lot of mischief. ✅ Crate trained ✅ Thrives on routine No kids (trust us) No chickens Selective with dogs Experts only Squirtle is not for the faint of heart. But if you’re dog-savvy, unshakable, and have a sense of humor bordering on masochistic… you just might fall in love with this chaotic little legend. Because underneath all that wild energy? Is a loyal, hilarious, endlessly entertaining gremlin.
