Bio:

Hello! Looking for a fella who loves to play and follow you around as you move through your day? Then I’m the guy you want to hire. Being your BFF is my superpower!

Folks describe me as energetic and a work in progress, and I am – I need someone who can take me for walks, engage in playtime throughout the day and continue to help me learn manners. In fact, you’ll need to take me to training classes as a condition of my adoption. And that’ll be great – I love to learn new things! Or work on things to make them better. Pleasing you makes me happy.

But even though I’m energetic, I can settle too – as long as I can be near you. I do like other dogs, but I haven’t spent a lot of time with them, so I don’t “read” them great yet. (I’m learning, though.) My energy can make some dogs anxious, so an easy-going, tolerant dog will be the best playmate for me if you already have a dog in your home.

But being your best pal is my top priority!

If interested please fill out our online adoption application form; please make sure you fill in every required field/question or your submission will not go through. Please note that we take time to learn as much as we can about each dog in our care and our bios are our current observations; we are unable to make any guarantees on the future health or temperament of your adopted dog. Most dogs in our care come with unknown pre-rescue history and as such breed and age estimates are an educated guess.
