Stimpy Terrier & Black Labrador Retriever Mix Worcester, MA

Stimpy (formerly named Blackie) is an energetic estimated six-year-old terrier mix, weighing about 13lbs. He has a large head, big paws, and tiny legs. We aren't entirely sure his parents breeds, but whatever they were they made one adorable pup! Stimpy is currently housed in a foster house with four other dogs, and loves nothing more than chasing after his foster brothers and sister in the yard and chewing up their favorite toys when they aren’t looking. This little guys packs a HUGE personality in his tiny body, and barreling into his humans for attention his another favorite activity. When he wants attention, he has no problem using those tiny, stumpy legs to hop up onto the couch and push his way into your lap.. He is good to be crated at night and during the day, though he may bark at first (and will continue to bark if he can see you from his crate). On the plus side, he has the most hilarious and wheezy bark there is (probably from such a huge head on such a little body), so it may provide you with a little chuckle on your way out the door. If he is going to be crated through the day, just keep in mind that a high-energy fellow like Stimpy is going to need walks, or time to run around and play, to keep him healthy and happy. Don’t let his little size fool you, he is full of spunk and sass and would be best suited in an active house that will make sure he gets out and about in the world.

While he wants nothing more than to be able to snuggle up with a nice, loving family, Stimpy is going to need someone special who will help him work through some of his nervousness. Stimpy will bite when cornered or when he feels threatened.. but who wouldn’t?! What he needs a someone with patience and a big heart to show him the world isn’t as scary as he might think, and to teach him that people are loving and aren’t out to get him. While he might someday grow to love children, his current temperament would be best suited for a house without young children. He would be fine with older children who know how to approach dogs properly.

NOTE: Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.

We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.
