This sweet and affectionate pup is not just a pet; a devoted friend waiting to bring joy and warmth into your life. Our furry friend is a bundle of joy AND ENERGY, always ready to share love through snuggles, playtime, and his endearing doggy smiles. He is fetch obsessed! His playful nature extends to hikes, where he is sure to be your loyal hiking buddy. At the dog park, he is a social butterfly, loving every moment spent with other dogs. His submissive nature makes him an excellent playmate for fellow pups. This smart pup already knows commands like sit, stay, touch, and no. While he has a good grasp of basic commands, he could benefit from more training. We envision him thriving in a loving home where his sweet nature is appreciated. An active family who enjoys outdoor activities, snuggles, and a lot of playtime will be a perfect match for this lovable boy. He loves cats but WILL chase/attempt to play with them, so we don’t recommend him going to a home with skittish kitties.
