Critter Chronicles: Corky

CORKY

Corky has been in a foster home for almost three years. That home would have been forever, but the foster has too many other dogs to be able to give him what he needs. He is a very smart boy who wants nothing more than a person all to himself. Corky is house-trained, knows some basic commands and has very good house manners. He loves to go for car rides and is an excellent riding partner, again, just wants to be with you. He walks excellent on the leash and would be a dream to take hiking. He is OK with the run of the house while you work. He has many good qualities but can’t seem to express them with all the competition of the other dogs. Corky gets along fine with cats and lives with them fine but wants to be the only dog. His perfect home would be preferably all female or a single female who can make him the center of her world. Corky will give you his all for just giving him the chance to be No. 1.
