Bacon came to us from the Southern Comfort Animal Rescue in Glenwood, Georgia when their rescue had a fire.  He's a happy, playful little guy that made sure we all knew he had arrived here!

Foster Update:  Bacon was a bit shy when we first brought him home, but after a day or so, his personality started showing. And what a cute personality he has!! He loves attention and will sit in your lap,  but he is also happy laying curled up on the couch. He will go outside and run and play in the yard, and then come in and be a quiet little dog! He loves playing with the kids and gets along just fine with my much bigger dog. He is totally housetrained and sleeps through the night. (under the covers in my daughters bed, of course!) Bacon will make his forever family so happy that they chose him!
