Artemis

Meet Artemis! Hello there, I'm Artemis. I'm a handsome adult guy weighing just over 15 pounds. As one of the few males released from a puppy mill, I'm feeling extra relieved to be free from that life! I'm a bit timid, but very inquisitive and I am now my foster mom’s little shadow. I will follow her around wherever she goes. I will jump up on the sofa to be near her. I am not much of a snuggler, I’m just so happy to share her space and will curl up in any available spot just to be near. I do so enjoy a good ear or butt scratching. Older children who can understand that I’m a bit reserved would be okay, and the older, the better in my book. I get along with other dogs and would do quite well if I had another confident playful dog in my forever home to teach me the ropes of my new surroundings. I have done quite well with the potty training and can even do my business while on a leash. Foster mom said that that is a big deal! I haven't been around any cats, but that shouldn’t be a problem. They were all over the place at the mill. I have discovered what toys are! Both squeaky toys and chew toys, and enjoy playing with both of them. I love to play and if my forever humans dedicate just a bit of time to playing, I'll build a quicker bond with them. My forever family will have to continue working with me and help me learn to trust. A fenced yard to keep me safe would be great since I do love to run around but if someone could walk me a couple of times a day that would be okay. I am so looking forward to having a loving family of my own. I'll just need to be in a home where patience and understanding is a common practice. I can't wait to be a part of a loving family and see everything that this life has to offer me. I sure hope you are the family for me! *Artemis is being fostered in the Waukesha area.
