My buddy Galileo has been with our family for 9 years approximately. He's been wonderful to have around, and I love him to death, but we are having a hard time taking care of him as time goes on. With everyone in the house working, and me moving on to college soon, he needs a better home. He is a very energetic dog, absolutley LOVES fetch. He is also an attention hog, he wants all of the pets he can get. He is not housebroken and wears diapers around the house. He has an attitude sometimes, but has never bitten anyone in years. I hope you can be a wonderful home that he deserves.
