Meet Sasquatch Cryptid
If you've ever wished for a tiny, lovable shadow who believes personal space is a team sport-Sasquatch Cryptid might just be your guy.
Sasquatch is a 10-year-old, 7-lb Maltese/Yorkie mix with a charming brown-and-grey coat and a BIG love for life. He adores other dogs and people, and his happiest place is on a cozy dog bed, preferably surrounded by canine friends. The more, the merrier!
Despite having cataracts, Sasquatch gets around like a pro. He's figured out the doggie door, uses a stool to climb onto the couch, and enjoys wandering the backyard to sniff out all the good smells. He's learning to walk on a leash, is making progress with housetraining, and doesn't mind car rides-bonus points if the adventure ends with snacks or cuddles.
This little guy is also a world-class snuggler. Sasquatch loves being carried around like a baby, whether that's in your arms or tucked into a sling, and he's perfectly content tagging along wherever you go.
Sasquatch does not like being alone and will happily follow you from room to room, barking if he gets left behind. Because of his impaired vision and his desire to always be right by your side, he would do best in a home without mobility challenges, as he can accidentally walk right into your feet while you're moving.
Overall, Sasquatch is an active, affectionate, and resilient little dog who wants to be part of everything you do-on the couch, in the car, or carried close to your heart. He is currently fostered in Vacaville and available for meet and greets.
✂️ Medical note: Sasquatch is scheduled for neuter and dental surgery on 3/3. He is eligible for a foster-to-adopt placement if his new family is willing to bring him to our vet in Pittsburg for his procedures.
If you're looking for a sweet, social companion who will happily be your sidekick (or your sling buddy), Sasquatch Cryptid is ready to join your pack.

Umbrella of Hope does not have any strict rules on ages of children because all children are different, but our best approximation is that this animal would do best with children over the age of 5
Umbrella of Hope is an all-volunteer, donation-run, non-profit animal rescue based out of Pittsburg, CA that rescues animals from local shelters, places them in private foster homes, provides them with needed medical care and then finds them new homes.
Also, ask us about our seniors for seniors program, where we adopt animals 5 years or older to qualified homes with a $5 donation as an adoption fee. All animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, treated for parasites and given any additional treatments (dental work, bloodwork etc) as recommended by our vet.
Adoptions to veterans of the US Armed Services are ALWAYS free to thank you for your service.
We thank Well Pet Vet Clinic for providing most of our veterinary services and give a special thanks to volunteer photographers Tanya, Barbara, Kristy, Christine, Teressa and Natalie.
