Kroger is a very friendly, good natured, and loving dog. He loves to be petted and he is very gentle when taking treats, etc. He loves to play with other dogs and people and is always excited to meet new people. Kroger would thrive in a home with another dog, children and adults who would give him attention and play with him. Kroger loves to explore out in the yard. He loves to chase a ball and play with people and other furry friends. He is house and crate trained, and is very smart and learns new tricks quickly. He is a faithful, loyal, and loving companion. Kroger is up to date on all of his shots and medical care, and he has been neutered. He gets seasonal allergies from time to time and has taken medication which helps with that. He would be a great companion and addition to any home. Due to new physical limitations for my mother, she is no longer able to provide him with the activity and care he really needs.
