I like Good Morning, Coulee because...
🐾 Meet Pluto! 🐾
1 year old • 12 lbs • Miniature Pinscher mix
Pluto is a sweet, snuggly little guy with a heart as big as his ears! At just 12 pounds, this 1-year-old Min Pin mix is the perfect pint-sized companion for couch cuddles and leisurely strolls. He’s house trained, quiet in his kennel, and loves nothing more than curling up in your lap for a nap after a walk or playtime. Pluto gets along well with other dogs, is gentle with kids, and is okay with cats—though he may give a playful chase now and then (he’s easily redirected and never mean about it!). One of his adorable quirks? He loves hiding his toys in his bed like little treasures. He’s still a bit shy around men, loud noises, and sudden movements, but he’s been getting braver and more confident every day. With patience and love, Pluto will continue to blossom into the happy, trusting pup he’s meant to be.
💙 Personality: Cuddly • Playful • Timid but Improving
Pluto is ready to find his forever family—could it be yours?
📍Being fostered in Viroqua, WI
