My personality

My story

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

Pokey is a young, spirited, energetic pup who’s looking for an active family to direct his natural puppy energy with long walks, basic training, and lots of positive reinforcement and enrichment. Pokey would likely do best with a more experienced owner who can continue his training at home, along with some structured play like nose work or agility training to help channel Pokey’s natural energy, curiosity, and intelligence and help him make good choices.

Are you Pokey’s new family? If you are a more experienced owner and are looking for a great young boy with potential to be a super playmate and companion, come and check out this lively young pup, you’re sure to be rewarded with a playful and loyal family pet!
