This affectionate, playful dog is looking for a loving home. He loves people, enjoys attention, and would thrive with an active family who enjoys walks, play, and companionship. He’s been gentle with kids and has a sweet, people-loving nature. Due to the presence of elderly adults with fragile health in the home he wandered into, he cannot stay there long-term. We’re hoping to find him the right, loving match.
