My story

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

He is kennel trained and will go into kennel when told to “go lay down”
Will hop or shake body when excited for food or asked to go “outside”
Usually cues when needing to be let outside with movement and whimpers or pacing.
Enjoys being apart of the family
Very sweet and will only get protective by barking to alert if there is a foreign threat like a possum or a stranger outside.
Gets along with my small dogs not sure about larger ones might be scared at first.
Will be ok with cats indoors just has to be redirected to not attempt to chase them.
Will eat any food in sight if left unattended
He loves cupcakes had accidentally eating some of the counter a few times.
