Meet scar. Scar is one of the most loving and sweet puppies I’ve ever had the pleasure of taking care of. He is playful and energetic and loves the outdoors and playing with other dogs! He is very friendly towards new people and extremely curious about life! Scar loves all of his toys and playing fetch and tug of war and loves chewing on his bones. He also loves cuddling on the couch and watching movies and taking naps in so many bizarre positions! Unfortunately, due to the nature of my job I cannot provide him with adequate care or training and would like to be able to rehome him to a family that will love him in all the ways I do and train him and spend time with him in the ways I sometimes can’t.
