Bow wow my name is Horatio
   




I'm such a good boy, and I am looking for a forever home! My foster mom says I am one of the best behaved terriers she has ever seen. For a young boy, I know a lot of basic commands like "come", "sit", "stay", and "no!" I don't like to bark much, but I can if I get excited. You would think I am much bigger than I actually am from the size of my bark. I am pretty well housebroken, but my foster mom does make sure I get to go out for potty every four or five hours. Foster mom works, so I have my very own dog walker who comes to take me out. I have two foster sisters that I really like, although I think they are not used to me yet! I would love to have a playmate to chase around as I have a lot of energy! I like to go for walks and foster mom makes sure I have at least two brisk walks a day. Taking a nice walk helps me burn off some of that energy. I have a fenced backyard right now, but I can fit through the pickets so I don't get to run around there like I would enjoy. I wouldn't intentionally try to be naughty by squeezing through the pickets, but sometimes a squirrel catches my eye and I just have to try to catch it! I have to stay in a crate when my foster mom is not home, but I don't mind it. I'm a good eater too, but I have been eating rice and boiled chicken this past week because my tummy has been a little upset with all the changes I have experienced recently. I like to chew on chew toys, and my foster mom says I am very good about knowing the difference between a toy and a shoe! I am very friendly towards people and I love to get a good head-rub. Would you like to be my forever mom? You won't be disappointed!
