About Mr Waffles
Hello everyone
My name is Mr Waffles, and I am a very sweet, gentle, and handsome little fella looking for my forever home.
I'm a bit of a mix at just 12 kilos of Jack Russell Terrier x something with a longer body and maybe a bit of Heeler ?? Either way I'm an absolute sweetheart and the perfect size little fella with the biggest heart
I would like someone to love me, look after me and keep me safe and healthy. I came from a terrible situation and then, thankfully, I was rescued. I am a happy, smiley, active boy with sparkly eyes who loves meeting new humans and other friendly doggies. I love to play, get patted; belly rubs and head massages. I am a little bit jumpy and love to run around the backyard – even doing zoomies, follow my human around and give lots of kisses. I am a very good watch dog and will let you know when someone is at the front door. I have recently learnt to play with toys and it's lots of fun to toss them in the air.
When my foster mum is at work, I get some yummy treats to go and find in the backyard. I'm happy to stay at home alone all day if needed. I have a few toys with me which I now know how to play with and the stereo is on soothing music to keep me entertained. When my foster mum works from home, I curl up and fall asleep either in my fluffy bed or under her desk near her feet.
At first, I was not sure about going in the car, but I am slowly but surely getting to like the idea. I get to go on adventures, look outside the window – feeling the wind on my very cute face and even get to nap along the way. I have a car hammock, my harness and seat belt to keep me safe and secure. I also have my bed in there as well for comfort.
I absolutely LUV going for walks – as soon as I see my harness, I know that I am going out for a new adventure around the neighborhood. I do tend to pull a little, but that’s only because everything is new and exciting to see and smell. I get distracted all the time as I don’t want to miss anything. I go on daily walks, meet new people and friendly dogs and it’s a lot of fun! I go out for about 30 minutes or more – the more time the better I reckon!! I am not keen on other rude dogs getting in my face and will let them know to step back. I am not really sure about cats and have given them a wide berth.
I am learning new commands all the time. So far, I have learnt how to sit, wait, go and come. I will need more obedience training; however, I seem to learn pretty quickly with daily practice. I even get treats when I get it right – love those yummy delights. I would like positive training and reinforcement as I can be nervous if I am told off in a loud voice. A soft training approach is better for me.

I do like to meet new humans – I get very excited meeting them when I am out and about. I get a smile on my face and can’t wait to head towards them for a pat and a belly rub. I can be a bit cautious with some men and may bark a little until I get to know them. My foster mum tells me all the time, that I am a very handsome little boy which puts a big smile on my face. My foster mum hides in the house and I run around trying to find her – it’s a great game and I love it when I find her.
I sleep inside the house on my human’s bed – I am quiet most of the time – but I sometimes snore (not loudly though) and will let my foster mum know when I need to go out for a bathroom stop. I have a fluffy dog bed which I will curl up in during the day on the back deck. I like to sleep on pillows and cushions and get myself in a very comfortable position when on the couch.
I am toilet trained, but I will need some time to get used to my new surroundings, so please take me outside regularly so I know when I can go to do my business. I would like you to come with me just to hold my paw. I may have a few accidents if there are previous doggy scents in the house. A dog door would be perfect for me to go inside and outside when I need to.
When I arrived from the pound I was very underweight so have been on a high calorie diet which has made me the perfect weight now
I am currently eating like a King that I am. I am eating twice a day in an amazing slow feeder as I tend to eat very quickly. I am very food motivated and will search for food inside and outside, so please put all food out of my reach. My dry food is Premium Puppy food, Prime chicken and vegetables with some delicious Greek yogurt. My treats consist of pig ears, dental chews and chicken jerky chews – yummo ! I also get a Kong filled with food that has been frozen and hidden somewhere in the backyard for me to find and enjoy. I sit for my food and tuck in after the plate is put down for me.
