Puppy boy Turtle is such a cheerful, zippy little dude! Well, we don't believe he is actually a puppy in terms of age but he has a natural happy-go-lucky, bouncy energy that surrounds him everywhere he goes! Weighing in at only 6 lbs.. Turtle is a wee little guy but has an amusing harmonious personality.. we believe he is a Maltese mix (maybe purebred??)
Turtle's life before he came to us was not a good one.. a woman called Colleton County Animal Control saying she found a dog. When the officers pulled up, they saw Turtle, left out in the rain, in a crate matted from head to toe (the photo to the right). The officers felt something was "off" with her story and when they checked her facebook page, it turned out she had owned Turtle since he was a puppy.
Turtle is so EASY to LOVE and doesn't ask for much.. he loves his walks and is game for anything! We will never understand why and how someone can be so cruel to such a loving little angel. Even having gone through such neglect, Turtle has put his past behind him and doesn't think about it for a second. He is the definition of resilience!

Turtle is friendly and outgoing.. greeting everyone he meets with light little jumps on your leg and leaps of joy in mid air! Turtle adores playing with other dogs.. he is in regular playgroups with a bunch of "littles" where he is often going around to each dog trying to initiate play! Since he is so small, we are careful to place him with dogs that are going to respect his size and not run him over! Turtle moves quickly and swiftly.. we have to be mindful of where he is because he often gets under foot!
