Story
Age: DOB 9/7/2020 Dog friendly: yes Cat friendly: unknown Kid friendly: yes Potty trained: yes Crate trained: yes Hi there! I’m a happy, friendly, and energetic pup looking for my forever home! I love to play and have fun, especially when it comes to a good game of fetch, tug-of-war, or chewing on my favorite bones. I have lots of love to give and would make a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys an active lifestyle. I’d love a family who can keep me active with walks, playtime, and adventures. Looking for a running buddy? I might just be your perfect match! I also enjoy car rides and will go anywhere you want to take me. I might be 6 years old, but I feel so much younger and, honestly, can still be a bit mischievous! I am crate trained. I quietly wait in my crate for my people when they are gone and currently sleep in their bedroom on a dog bed at night. But some day I would love to sleep in a more comfy bed with my person. I am playful, but I also like to be close and snuggle too. I am also potty trained but still figuring out the best way to let my people know when to open the door. So foster mom keeps an eye on me so she can see when I need to go out. I only recently found out I had diabetes and now that I am taking medicine for it, it makes it so much easier for me to know when I have to go outside. I happily take my medicine like a good boy every day....just give me a little peanut butter with it and I think it's a treat! I get along with other dogs and would love to have a playmate, although I don't need one if my people will play with me instead. I also love kids. Previously I lived with a baby and now with a 7-year-old. I love to run when he runs. It is fun! I've been told though that I need to learn something about personal space? I don't know what that is. If you’re searching for a fun-loving, energetic companion who’s always ready for the next adventure, I could be the perfect addition to your family. I can’t wait to find my forever home and fill it with love, laughter, and lots of tail wags! ❤️🐶 Adoption Fee: $395
