Hi, my name is Tonk but my friends call me big guy. I'm a male English Bulldog. My foster mom says I am a total ham, absolutely full of love & kisses to give my furever family. I'm very puppy acting and have bursts throughout the day (doggie zoomies!) of that puppy energy. I love a fenced in yard where he can run out the afternoon zoomies and prefers to do my business in the yard, off-leash. I know the ‘sit’ command and am I VERY motivated by treats/food. I just loves to jump to give hugs or to get your attention so I could use some formal training around that. I would love a doggie playmate who matches my energy or is the calmer one in the home. I could also do well as the solo dog. Because I'm still puppy-Ish, I will need my training to continue when I get to OUR new home.
