Give a warm welcome to the new Pet of the Week! This is Dreidel, a 6-year-old Papillon mix, and he's in need of a loving home.

Dreidel made his way to Street Tails Animal Rescue after he and his siblings were seized from a neglectful home, but he hasn't let the tough times get him down. His bravery and resilience truly make him a miracle pup.

Dreidel is sweet-natured, playful and affectionate. He plays nicely with dogs, cats and children and will loyally stay by the sides of his trusted companions. 

If his cheerful personality doesn't instantly win you over, his signature one ear up, one ear down look will surly do the trick. 

This little guy really has it all; he’s easy going, potty trained and has excellent manners. The only thing he's missing is a home for the holidays! 

So what are you waiting for? Head over to Street Tails Animal Rescue to bring Dreidel home this holiday season.

Also, this week another dog at Street Tails Animal Rescue needs attention. Raider has been sick and is in need of donations. More information can be found on their Instagram post.
