I'm told that every creature has a purpose in life. While I'm not yet sure what mine is, I am sure I have one! My previous life wasn't much to speak of and I wasn't well looked after. I'm a soft coated, blue dapple, wire hair.  I need to be brushed daily, which I love.  I weigh about 8 pounds and am told I need to gain one or two more to reach my best size, but I will always be a small boy. Even the doctors disagree about my age, but since that is only a number, I won't concern myself with that.Sweet and adorable don't even begin to describe me. I'd be so content to spend the days following you around, sharing my kisses, and snuggling on your lap. I enjoy other dogs and have a very submissive personality. Some dominant dogs may be a bit much and overpower my gentle soul. I'm also a little scared of men I think are intimidating, but I can work through this with some patience.  A nice friend and a loving home would make my world complete. They call me special needs because I have a malformed eye and can't use it to see my way around. But, the other eye works just fine! So what's the big deal? Being rescued has renewed my hope to find my purpose! With each day my purpose becomes more clear! Perhaps my purpose is to meet you?
