Rover Rescue Dog of the Week
Howdy! My name is Fancy. Do you happen to remember Reba McEntire’s country song from the 90s; the one about the girl born of plain white trash? Her name was Fancy, too, and our stories are quite similar. I was born in the south (Southern Indiana) and found myself in a desperate situation. I was a lost dog in a high-kill shelter. Even though I must have had a family at one time (I came into the shelter overweight), sadly no one came for me. With the help of Rover Rescue, I was able to pull myself up by my bootstraps and move uptown… to the Chicagoland area. Grab a sweet tea, put your feet up and sit for a spell while I tell you about myself. I am a funny 6 year old Puggle. I am the best blend of two great dog breeds. I have the bark/bay of a Beagle and the goofy, lovable personality of a Pug. Now that I am no longer living on the streets, I am growing quite accustom to the life of luxury. My foster mom thinks that Fancy is the perfect name, as I do like to be treated like an aristocrat. I promise to give lots of cuddles and sweet lovin’ in return to anyone and to any age. I get along well with other dogs, but they need to remember that I like things my own way and am the top dog! I am not exposed to cats in my foster home, but have some feline tendencies. I like to sit on top of the couch and look out the window. Can you believe that I was told that I am a little short for my weight?? I currently weigh 30 pounds and need to lose a few, but my favorite daily activity is eating! I love food and can find it anywhere! I live to sleep and eat. I can run and play with the best of them, but I am very content snuggling up for a good snooze. My mom thinks I am quite silly as I will fold up my dog bed, lay on it and hold it in place with my teeth. I treat it just like a security blanket. I have proven to be a proper lady as I am housebroken and crate trained. The reward for my excellent manners is I get to sleep in my foster mom’s bed under the blankets. Supposedly, I snore, but I am not aware of it! I sleep just fine. I enjoy going for walks, but I need to have my harness on. I do like to follow my nose and pull. We can work on that together! I am just a really happy girl that loves car rides, playing with stuffed animals, and eating! Don’t you fancy having a little Fancy in your life? If your answer is heck yes, don’t delay!
