Meet Possum!
Ever want to bring that adorable Opossum outside, inside to be your friend to the end? Look no further than our buddy Possum! He is a 9 year old Chiweenie (that's Dachshund Chihuahua mix). This little guy is the epitome of the word agreeable. He is content in every and every possible situation.
People - he adores attention and affection, so happy to be held and cuddled, but LOVES to go on adventures and walks (NOT on cold days though please!). Dogs - he is calm and friendly with other small pups; larger dogs are intimidating for him, but we don't blame his tiny size!. Cats - no problem! He's very respectful of their boundaries. Kids - of course! Tested and approved, as long as they are small dog savvy. This little guy has a genetic hair loss condition that is stable and not an issue - he just is mostly hairless and all he will need is a wardrobe to keep him warm and some pup friendly sunscreen in the summer - low maintenance guy! If you are interested in making Possum your next 4-legged family member, please email Michelle at michelle.p@poainc.org AND submit an application at www.poainc.org
