Heath is Looking For:  My perfect family who can keep up with my active lifestyle. I have plenty of energy to burn, which makes me a fantastic companion for outdoor adventures and playtime.

I love long walks, chasing after balls, and learning new tricks.  When the day winds down, though, I’m all about the cuddles. I look forward to  finding the comfiest spots to snuggle up with my favorite humans.  Are you mine? 

What My Foster Says About Me:  Heath is an adorable, curious, go-with-the-flow guy. He gets along well with new people and dogs, and does excellent on leash. Heath can easily pivot from playful mode to calm mode, but he’s still a youngster so he does need a little guidance from time to time on what is a chew toy and what isn’t. However, he has improved on that dramatically in the short time he’s been with me – he responds very well to corrections and wants to please. Heath has a somewhat independent spirit, so he likes the freedom to alternate between cozying up to you for belly rubs, ear scratches, and cuddles, and doing his own thing. He is great about occupying himself by looking out the windows or playing with his toys or napping peacefully. I've absolutely loved fostering this sweet boy and watching him blossom!
