Story
Bob is a very serious looking dog but a happy boy. He likes to chase a ball and throw his treats around. He enjoys going for walks taking his sniff time seriously. Bob is usually very quiet, only making noise when first kenneled and then left alone. He settles quickly and is quiet in his kennel otherwise. He is anxious to please and is food motivated. Bob is affectionate and sweet, winning over all guests to the house.

Story
Hi, I'm Hanna MontanaAbout me:My pictures my not show it but I am only 22 lbs. and not that tall, more of a medium size. I'm a very shy girl until I get to know you. I like to give kisses and run away. I will even nibble your fingers when I want attention.It has taken a me a few weeks to be comfortable enough to let my foster family pet me but I am getting braver every day and I am starting to enjoy it. I let my foster mom brush me now which is important because I have very thick fur and needed to get rid of my winter coat. I shed in little white fluff balls, so they are easy to vacuum up. I do have a coat that will require grooming.Likes: Playing with toys and stealing shoes. If you leave your shoes out I will be sure to take them outside in the yard for a walk. Dislikes: Someone approaching me by surprise, I get scared and will run away from you. Kennel trained: Yes, I will even sleep in my kennel when the door is left open. If the kennel is occupied I have no problem joining the occupant for a nap. Special needs: Someone to leash train me and have patience while I learn house manners.House trained: No, only partially, but I am doing really good at my training, I am having less messes in the house every day. Dogs: Yes, I love other dogs. I do tend to annoy them because I just want their attention all the time and will kiss them a lot, but if they play tug with me we will be best buddies. Cats: UnknownChildren: Yes
