A handsome, gentle, seven-year-old sweetheart who is house trained and genuinely great with everyone, from three kids and another dog to five cats, a turkey, and a flock of chickens. He is only being rehomed because his person retired and had to move in with family and could not bring him along. That steady, city or farm-friendly temperament, paired with his big-dog good looks, is exactly what helps the right family fall for him.
