This super sweet boy is looking for a new home. He is very affectionate. He loves to cuddle up under a blanket. Loves other dogs. Loves cats. We have a small farm and his prey drive gives him too much anxiety due to the chickens and the goose. He can't even go outside without getting too worked up.
