Fall River Forever Paws Krueger is a young smush who loves his walks

Meet Fall River Forever Paws Pet of the Week Krueger!

Krueger is made up of all the spare parts from the Build-a-Bear factory. His back legs are a little too long, his head is a little too big, his body is a little too short…basically he’s an amalgamation of, like, ten other dogs. Forever Paws has him listed as an American Bulldog mix but they honestly state…who knows? He only weighs about 35 lbs. and he’s full grown at about a year and a half old. Maybe someone stuck him in the dryer, and he shrank.

Krueger is named Krueger because when he first came in, he was…difficult. Like something right off of Elm Street.

Needless to say, his name no longer really fits him because he’s just a socially awkward smush who is afraid of cats and loves his walks.

For a young guy, Krueger is surprisingly low energy. He kind of just waddles around, sniffing leisurely and taking in the sights and sounds. He’s starting to show some interest in toys and gets excited when he knows he’s going for a walk. He’s learning how to walk on a leash without pancaking himself onto the floor. Basically, he’s slowly but surely coming out of his shell and showing Forever Paws just how goofy he really is. He’s been fine with other dogs so far but, as mentioned before, he’s afraid of cats so dog-friendly cats should be fine.

Since he is a restricted breed, you must own your own home or live in a home owned by a family member. Kids 12+ preferred.
