Gage is a sweet boy who we think was dumped. he has been with us for a few weeks, but we are unable to keep him due to him not getting along with our mini pig and we have to many animals already. he is good with our other dogs, LOVES people so I would assume good with kids. he loves to play, loves getting belly rubs and loves to just sit with you. we are working on basic training with him and he is doing great. we can send him home with all the things we have gotten for him so far if interested. (crate, bed, blankets, toys, food, food and water bowls)
