This little shortstack of sweetness is definitely a crowd-pleaser and an overall well-rounded companion. True to his Chihuahua roots, Pancake is very loyal and bonded to the people close to him and needs a little time to warm up to folks outside of that inner circle. Once he accepts you into his tribe, he is a fun-loving social butterfly who fits in just about anywhere. If it were up to him, the entire day would involve sitting on laps, snuggling up tight, and staying close to his people, interspersed with play time. On leashed walks he has quite the pep in his step, and at his foster home he very much enjoys extended yard explorations. He may take liberties to extend his explorations beyond the yard boundaries, so a secure fence is a must. As with people, he needs a minute to warm up to dogs outside of his pack, but at his foster home he is super friendly with the other small dogs in the house and he is also very polite with the cats. Pancake likes to come along on car rides, but is also content staying home alone for a bit, especially if other canine friends are around for company.

For added cuteness, Pancake is a huge flirt and will gaze deeply into your eyes. He moans and groans when rummaging around in his dog bed and will then bury himself neatly under a blanket. His happy place is peacefully snoozing with you under the covers all night long. All he wishes for is a family who will shower him with affection and go out on little adventures now and then.

Little Pancake arrived at Hitchcock Road Animal Services as a stray. At the shelter, he was very shy and shut down, but since he has been in POMDR's care, he has turned into one happy-go-lucky pup.
