Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Shamrock! Shamrock is a 16-month-old bundle of joy and brains currently enrolled in the Hope Dog Prison Program, where he’s proving to be the teacher’s pet (literally). This playful, energetic boy is eager to learn and already aces commands like sit, down, stay, come, off, wait, kiss, and even go pee! He’s also mastered the art of taking treats with the softest mouth and hasn’t shown a destructive side—unless you count obliterating squeaky toys during a fierce game of tug. Shamrock loves woodland walks, swimming, and chasing his squeaky ball like it’s his job. He’s a sucker for affection, loves to show off his smarts, and is highly food-motivated (treats are his kryptonite!). While he can get a little barky and excited meeting new people or dogs, he’s making great strides in socializing. He’s learning to appreciate calmer doggy friends, especially the laid-back ladies. Shamrock thrives with structure and would do best with someone willing to keep building his social skills. If you’re looking for a sweet, goofy, trainable sidekick who’s ready to steal your heart (and your snacks), Shamrock’s your guy!
