I am looking for an awesome
family to call my own. I’ve also been
told I’m a very smart boy. I know
many tricks...sit, down, shake, high
fi ve, roll over and the cutest sit
pretty you have ever seen. The only
issue I have is that I do not like cats
or small dogs, I get a bit over eager
when I see other dogs so the kennel
staff has not done a meet and greet
with any of the other dogs here. And
don’t get me started on tug of war,
because I will win...
