Bio:

I am, according to foster dad, the perfect gentleman. I am house-trained, sleep through the night and have excellent house manners. I am not a fan of crates, but that’s OK. Foster dad lets me roam the house freely while he’s gone, and everything is still in tip-top shape when he returns. Though I might greet him with a shoe in my mouth if I come across one on my way to the door. I readily give it up and have never destroyed a shoe. Looking out the window (and only occasionally barking at things), taking walks (I do so nicely) and playing with the water stream from a hose are among my favorite pastimes. But my most very favorite thing to do is be with my foster dad; I just love being near my person. I do enjoy meeting new people; I warm up quickly and am gentle with them. I should tell you that I have a pancreas condition that requires daily medication and special food; as long as that is provided as prescribed I am A-OK. So, if you’re looking for a calm, relaxed, steady companion, I could be your perfect match.

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.
