My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Great dog, who knows basic all obedience and some advanced obedience he just doesn't have what it takes to be a service dog.

House broke, crate trained, fetch, walks well on the leash. We require a fenced-in yard without other pets or children for his adopter.

Would do best in a home with other dogs or children. Looking for a local adopter, with a fenced-in yard. Adoption includes additional training
