Hi, I’m Artie! I’m a 2 year old, 7 pound PomChi. Needy Paws Rescue took me in because my owner got sick and had to go to a nursing home. I miss them, but I am great at adapting to new situations, and am happy to be a Needy Paws dog! I am fully housebroken and very obedient-I always come when I am called! 

My foster mom says I am uncomfortably cute. Even though I’m very small, I can jump all the way onto the couch by myself!  I love making new friends, both with 2 legs and 4

legs! I am an extremely friendly guy all around. Due to my small size, I may not be a good dog for families with small kids, but older kids would be great! I don’t have a lot of needs, I’m just looking for someone to give me adequate snuggles and pets, in addition to a warm home and food. If you’d let me sleep in bed with you, that would be an extra bonus! Can I please come home with you?
