Sebastian is a 10 month old puppy. He’s very energetic and loves the outdoors. He gets along well with other dogs but is nervous when meeting new humans so it will take time for him to get comfortable. I did not come to the decision of rehoming him lightly, however it’s best and he deserves a better life than what I have to offer him..
