Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Dodger, A.K.A. Pretty Boy (according to his shelter paperwork!), is a 10 months old ball of bouncy fun, who needs your love!
This 55lb goofball is a whirlwind of excitement, with a wag that could power a small town. Looking at him, you might wonder if he's a German Shepherd in disguise or a friendly Martian visitor!
Dodger is a sweetheart who's eager to please. He walks well on leash but will need more consistent training to remind him there's a human on the other end. He loves to explore and seeing his reactions on a walk to every little thing is precious.
He gets along great with other dogs but his bouncy and pounce-on play-style may turn some dogs off, so a tolerant resident dog is recommended.
Dodger tend to get very excited to see other pups and can vocalize it to the whole neighborhood. It's the only time we have heard him bark!
While his kitty and kid experience is unknown, his playful spirit is sure to charm anyone willing to give him a chance.
Here's the best part: Dodger needs a foster or forever home! Whether you can offer a loving space for a few weeks or a lifetime, Dodger will shower you with endless cuddles and playful antics.
