My story

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

Ballot is a big beautiful boy with soulful eyes. He does great with meeting new people. He already knows how to sit, and will try his best to "hold it" to go potty outside whenever possible. Mr Ballot does need some additional training to walk a little more calmly on a leash, though it's more of a curiosity to explore his surroundings and not because he's reactive to sights and sounds during his walks and he does respond well to treats during training, which is a BIG plus. He will do well with a family that is willing to show him the ropes! Ballot does show some potential to be in a multi-dog family as he is in a buddy-walk group.
