Panda

Panda is a loving, energetic dog who was initially intended to be a therapy dog for my child with level 3 autism. Unfortunately, temperament is not a match to complete service training.
He will do well in a home with a yard and active family. He does well with children and other dogs! He is trained off-leash for walking and outdoors and is 90% potty trained.
