Larry is the sweetest boy! He was a favorite at the Palmdale shelter. We do not normally take happy-go-lucky dogs, but something about Larry reached out and tugged at our hearts, so he became a Shamrock. He can be a little shy at first, but that doesn't stop him from giving sweet kisses, and he warms up pretty quickly once he knows you're a friend. He is young, so can be a little rambunctious and would do best in a home with kids 8 and older. We aren't sure how he does with other dogs but will update when we find out. We can't say enough wonderful things about Larry. He's just a great, great dog.
We are told that Larry can jump fences, so he must have a yard with high, secure walls and no ability to get over them (such as furniture piled or placed near a wall, rock formations he could climb near a wall, etc.). We do a home check so we can help with determining whether there is any concern in your yard. We also believe that if given the proper attention and love, Larry won't feel the need to do any jumping. He was likely an outdoor dog in his previous life, and, being bored, took it upon himself to find a more interesting venue to explore. That's likely how he ended up at the shelter.
