Koji

We have always had larger breed dogs (Setters, and Golden Retrievers), as well as cats over the last 35 years, in January we sadly had to put down the last of our retrievers, Chance, who had lived to the ripe old age of 15, after having been born with only three legs. After swearing that we were done with any more pets, we ended up bonding with a Yorkie/Shih Tzu, who ended up living with us for a while, when our son and his girlfirend split up, that was the end of that.
After our son moved out (for the third time), my wife was really missing having the smaller dog in the house (or at least something to mother), although I was less than enthused, I agreed to at least pay lip service and look at what was available, after looking at all of the purebred websites, I found about about Koji and PUP via the petfinders website.
We were lucky enough to be able to interview yesterday, and both parties were happy with the results.
Koji is everything that we could have hoped for, he has bonded immediately with both of us (my wife in particular, and my son, on a fly by visit) he is very affectionate, playful, and there have been no issues in regard to potty training. He went right into his carrier at night, and slept in our room with no issues at all (other than my wife complained that now she has to listen to us both snore)
I would especially like to thank his foster family, for the training they were able to begin with him in the short time they had him, it is very apparent that they have worked very hard, and it is so much easier to continue with the commands he is already familiar with. He even received a trial by fire when our two small grandsons made a surprise appearance, he was wonderful, he was not skittish, like many small dogs, did not bark or show any signs of aggressiveness, and they both left him alone.
We had a very pleasant experience with PUP, and the adoption, and will strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a new pet.
