My story

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

Meet Ross, a young bundle of joy! Overflowing with energy, Ross loves to jump, play, and explore, making every day a new adventure. He loves water more than anything but also likes running, tugging, toys, walks, chase, and wrestling. He`s a social butterfly with a friendly demeanor that will surely win you over. Ross is also a cuddle bug, always ready to snuggle up on your lap and share some sweet moments. At 60 pounds, he firmly believes he is the perfect-sized lap dog. His curiosity is infectious, making you see the world through his eager eyes. Ross is crate trained, making him a well-behaved companion, but he`ll need your help with house training. He knows the sit command and might do a down if you offer him a treat. He`s easygoing, friendly, and playful with other dogs, but shows no interest in cats except when his excitement overcomes him and he barks at them. He`s a bit mouthy and jumpy, but that`s just his playful nature shining through. He would be better off with older kids until he can polish his manners. He`s also leash trained, making walks a breeze. Ross`s personality is vibrant and joyful, and he`s ready to share that joy with a forever family. His love for life and playful spirit make him the perfect addition to any home. Adopt Ross, and let his love and energy brighten your life. (tw 11/10/2024)
