Ivan

Ivan is a fun-sized dictator who rules his kingdom with growls, grumbles, and a perfectly practiced side-eye. At just 10 lbs, this wiry terrier mix was pulled from a high-risk shelter at the very last minute — proof that the biggest personalities often come in the scruffiest packages.<br/><br/>Ivan isn’t your instant lapdog. Rush his boundaries and he’ll let you know with a warning growl, but give him time, space, and patience, and he may just grant you membership to his extremely exclusive circle of trust. He’s what we lovingly call a “spicy nugget,” and he’ll reward the right person with his quirky charm and moments of surprising sweetness.<br/><br/>With other dogs, Ivan coexists just fine. He doesn’t go out of his way to make best friends, but he’s perfectly content as part of a pack or as your one-and-only sidekick.<br/><br/>Ivan’s ideal home is with someone who appreciates quirks, has a solid sense of humor, and enjoys a little challenge. He won’t be everyone’s dog — but for the right person, he’ll be an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind companion.<br/><br/>Ready to adopt 10 pounds of sass, spice, and secret soft-heartedness? Ivan’s waiting…
