Story
This sweet little guy needs a loving forever home! I found him in a field and no owner has come forward so we’re fostering him until we find a great home for him. He’ll need to be the only dog in the home but when we went to the vet there were a couple cats roaming around and he had no reaction so he living with cats is a possibility. He’s pretty timid at first so he’ll need a patient home with an experienced dog parent(s). He is such a little snuggle bug and wants nothing more than to be with you (except treats, he really likes those!) He has short little play sessions during the day but mostly he’s a calm low-key dog. He sleeps great in kennel at night, rides in a car well, walks on a leash well, and is potty trained. If you have any other questions please let me know!
