He loves everyone! He enjoys getting pup cups but didn't take any treats from us. He did great in the car but would whine a little. While out, he walked great on the leash. He didn't pull or tug. Rigs also enjoyed playing catch and tug." - May try to cuddle with you in the car - Has loved getting to run around outside when he's spent time at homes with big backyards - Can be a lap dog! - Eager to be loved by people, loves strangers and loves getting pets from people who visit his kennel - Enjoys stuffies, bones and treats - Loves to learn and has great focus - especially if you have treats - so would be a lot of fun to train (already knows sit, shake and down)- Does great on a leash- Appears to be potty trained, just remember any dog may take time to adjust to a new schedule and routine - Has done well with other dogs who have a similar play style to his own and would probably love having dog friends - Needs a home with no cats This pet qualifies for our 7-day Foster-to-Adopt program.

Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most dogs we are only guessing at primary breed. We get to know each dog as an individual and do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not breed label.
