My name is Ishmael!

He bonded right away to his foster family and loves leaning against his humans to get scratches behind the ear or a belly rub. Ishmael loves sitting next to his foster mom (usually on her feet!) while she works at her desk in the mornings. He wants nothing more than to be with his people and will be an excellent work-from-home coworker!

He is a big lug that doesn't know his own strength. He is 100% housetrained but will need some basic leash training due to his strength and love for chasing anything that moves, lol, but he corrects quickly and will walk well when held close to your hip. He is very trainable. He loves food but will wait quietly while you eat at the table. He doesn't beg but his big head is always there watching you!

It's hard to not love on his GIANT HEAD! He takes kisses as much as he gives them. He is super sweet and most interested in being a 90lb lap dog lol! He wants to be where you are and will literally lay on any part of your body he can, bc he just wants to be close to you. He would probably make a great adventure buddy too bc he loves to explore EVERYTHING! He's the sweetest boy and deserves a home where he gets lots of love bc he's a lover too.
