Backstory: We got the call on Shorty because he snapped at some children. He has shown the same here at the shelter. Best we can come up with is that maybe a child was mean to him or something when he was a pup. Otherwise, Shorty loves people and attention. He also loves to Bark. A lot! He is very sweet and can eat so much!

Foster notes: Shorty is a very sweet boy who is great with adults. He loves to give hugs and snuggle. However, Shorty is not good with children and will need a child free home. Young applicants who may have children in the future will unfortunately not be considered for him as the last thing we would want is for the home dynamics to change years down the line and Shorty to be returned through no fault of his own.
