Though his foster describes Pez as "the Thinker" due to his deliberate, quiet approach to life, she also points out his face is worthy of Renoir. He does strike a dramatic pose. Big, beautiful eyes. A cap of black hair. Ears on alert. This little buddy is watching your every move so he can position himself nearby for a scratch, a treat or some love.

He gets along seamlessly with other dogs and settles effortlessly into your daily routine. He's happy to explore and will follow your lead, whether that means hiking up a trail or sitting at home answering emails. He's not needy or clingy. He just really enjoys your company. In fact, he might move his doggie bed a little closer to your desk or chair, if that's okay with you.

Pez gets along great with other dogs, children, cats and even - lizards. He's a little love bug. He's also profoundly deaf, so he'll look to you for guidance on navigating his way through life. He does need to be let out often for potty breaks and is a picky eater.

Pez has some skin issues that are being addressed, and he's feeling better from the joint supplements he takes. He came to us from Monterey County Animal Services.
