Description:

Introducing Pretty Boy Floyd – So Much More Than Just A Pretty Face! While he could just rely on his adorable mug of a face, Floyd ’s demeanor matches his looks - sweet, gentle and playful. This guy is the perfect mix of a snuggler and a walking companion. He enjoys his time chilling on the couch and strutting on the street. This 2 year-old, 13 pound terrier mix from Antioch Animal Services settled into his foster home immediately - ready to give affection and play with the resident dog. House Trained Floyd doesn’t ask to out but will willingly go out in the backyard when the door is opened or eagerly wait for the leash to be put on to go for a walk. If you keep him on a schedule, there are no accidents. Favorite Activities Floyd loves gnawing on toys. For this master chewer, indestructible chew toys like Nylabone are recommended. Dog Friendly Floyd gets along great with other dogs. He’s a lover and not a fighter and will tolerate more aggressive play from the resident dog. Their game of chase is at a furious speed and fun to watch. Food Enthusiast He’s not picky and very enthusiastic about food. So much so, he likes to investigate when he smells something good, so care must be taken to keep things out of his reach. Walks Floyd can’t get enough. Floyd loves to walk. Want to know what he loves more…running! And not running in a good way, like bolting. Floyd cannot be let loose yet as he will take off. Training will be a must in his new home to ensure his safety. Commands Floyd knows how to sit and shake. Grooming He is ok with having nails trimmed, being bathed and groomed except when it comes to his face. This pretty boy requires a gentle touch when you are grooming his face. House Manners Floyd doesn’t bark much, mostly outside if he hears other dogs. He’s will sleep in a crate and spend time in there while family is away. Funny quirk of Floyd ’s is jumping in the tub for no reason than to jump right back out. Floyd would thrive in any home. Older kids are recommended just because younger kids might leave doors open and Floyd would take off. As long as his new home could provide an activity level that matches his needs for daily walks and a yard to run in. Floyd is an amazing companion who is affectionate, playful, active and smart. He is sure to bring joy to his new home. Floyd is fostered in Vacaville and potential adopters will have to meet him there.
