Hi there! Mortimer here.
I'm still young and full of beans, with a whole lot of love (and a few zoomies) saved up for the right person.
I do come with a few special needs, but please don't let that worry you — I just need a patient friend, and I pay it back tenfold.
I'd love to meet you. But if I'm not quite the one, maybe you could do me one tiny favor — print my bio and pop it up somewhere a future best friend might spot it. Who knows, I might see you at the park someday! Either way, thank you for stopping by and giving me a moment. It really did mean a lot. — Mortimer 🐾
The rescue’s notes on Mortimer
Mortimer is an 8-month-old, 32-pound pittie mix who starts off a little unsure in new situations but warms into the sweetest, most affectionate puppy once he feels safe, particularly when he has a social dog in the home to guide him. He is dog-friendly, crate-trained, sleeps through the night, and loves having a quiet little den where he can rest and recharge. He is getting the hang of potty training, enjoys belly rubs, peanut butter Kongs, and settles right in for cuddles, all while making the tiny happy grunts his foster hears throughout the day. If you want a tender puppy who will blossom with patience, another dog in the home, and calm guidance, Mortimer is ready to meet you!
