about BACON

Hey there, bacon lovers! I'm Bacon, the pup who's crazy about bacon—and, surprise, that's how I got my name! 🥓 When they started saying it every time they saw me, I couldn't help but embrace it. I'm a joyful, wiggly little guy ready to explore all the wonders of the world.

​

I "sizzle" with excitement when I see people—my whole-body wiggles like a happy bacon strip on a hot pan! Apparently, it's so adorable that I get all kinds of "ooohs" and "awwws," so naturally, I'll keep doing it. I'm also "housetrained" (or so they say). I only had accidents when I was on special meds for my heartworm treatment. Being housetrained means more house-exploring time because I remember to do my business outside first. When it's super-hot outside, I'm thrilled to get back indoors quickly. Hot, humid weather? Not for me! I prefer it just right—between 0 and 85 degrees, please!

​

Cats? No thanks, not my cup of tea. But other dogs? Sure, as long as we have a proper introduction. I've made great friends with the canines in my foster home, though I've learned that playing with humans can be just as fun. I usually watch my canine buddies instead of jumping into the action. Life is so easy! I might get a little growly when uncomfortable, but don't worry—that's just me chatting to make sure we're on the same page. I'm incredibly patient—my foster mom is always amazed at how patient I am with other dogs and even her! (She's the worst at pushing my buttons, constantly stealing kisses, but I let it slide because she’s my favorite.)

​

I'd be perfectly happy as the only dog, if I have my humans. I can entertain myself for hours with naps and toys. Blankets? I love them! Sitting on them, suckling them, chasing them—blanket playtime is the best. When I'm tired, I just nap on my toy. Fetch is my thing—I love letting you chase me a bit before bringing the ball back for more. Sometimes, my wiggles and excitement might be a bit much for little ones, but I'm learning to calm down around smaller people.

​

Making people happy is my mission, and I'm all about learning new tricks. As I get more comfortable in my foster home, I've become a bit sneakier—like trying to sneak a peek at food on the counter. But I'm a good listener. You say "no" or "ah ah," and I'm down with four on the floor! I'm mastering my basic commands, and my leash-walking skills are getting better every day. I'm also a perfect angel in my crate—no escaping or fussing. It's my safe space, and I even crate myself to relax sometimes.

​

It took me about a year to come out of my shell, but now I'm showing off my true personality. Trust takes time for me, but I'm goofy and full of love. I show off my trust every morning when I get out of my crate, then tuck it away until we've spent more time together. Some say I'm modest, some say shy, but I say I'm perfectly cooked Bacon—soft yet a little crunchy on the outside. You know you want to meet the best piece of Bacon around, so what are you waiting for?
