Crunch is ready to find a family to call his own! He and his brothers (Skor & Twix) “aged out” and were no longer wanted by their breeder, but this playful little boy has a lifetime of love ahead of him.

Crunch enjoys playing with his brothers and would do well with other small dogs in the home. Small children must be gentle and respectful, understanding that Crunch is a puppy who is still learning, too.

Housetraining is still a work in progress. His new family will need patience, consistency, and a regular potty routine as he learns.

Crunch will need either a secure physical fenced yard or a sturdy x-pen until he is comfortable walking on a harness and leash. He should never be off leash unless he is in a secure, enclosed area.

Make sure the entire household it ready to consider Crunch before completing an application.
