My name is Geoffrey and I’m ridiculously handsome, that’s what my foster Mom says anyway.  I weigh around 19 pounds.  I was found roaming around the streets dirty and hungry but a nice puppy named Landry and his boy picked me up, gave me a bath, fed me some good food and took me to my foster Mom’s house.  She has 3 doxies so I get to play and play.   I love all dogs big and small.  I was a little leery of people at first and preferred my foster puppy brothers but I’ve come to the conclusion that my foster Mom is ok as humans go.  She likes it when I cuddle in her lap and give her lots of wet sloppy kisses.  Pretty weird but she feeds me so it’s a small price to pay.  She does have a strange love of her yard and dislikes it when I dig so she watches me when I go out.   I love to run and explore so if I get out she has to run to catch me and she’s not a fan of running, imagine that.  I think I’d probably like kids who run and like to play.   I love to play with toys and take them all out of the basket as I can’t decide which one I prefer.  I usually sleep in my crate as I like to roam, although I have slept in the big people bed.  It’s pretty comfy. I love it outside and as long and my foster Mom lets me out I don’t have accidents.  Overall I’m a happy guy and would be a great addition to any family.  It would be best if I had a puppy friend to keep me occupied as I was used to just being around other dogs before they found me.  I like all dogs, big and small.  Not sure about cats, I’ve never been introduced to one but I pretty much like anyone who will play with me.  I’m a good watch dog and protective of my human and puppy friends.  Stop by and say hi some time, I love meeting new friends.
