Hi there, I'm Craig. ðŸ\x90¾ About a year ago, life was pretty wonderful. I had a cozy spot with my mom & my seven brothers & sisters. We'd snuggle up, play, & just enjoy being together. But, one chilly day in February, everything changed. My family brought us to a big, loud place that smelled... different. There were so many strange sounds and barks echoing everywhere. At first, I wasn't too worried because my brothers & sisters were right there with me. But then, one by one, they left. I didn't understand why, & as each disappeared, my heart started to feel heavier. Now, I've been at St. Francis for over 10 months. Don't get me wrong, the people here are kind - they take me for walks, give me snuggles, & tell me what a good boy I am. But deep down, I dream of something more. I dream of a family to call my very own. Someone who will throw a ball for me, let me cuddle on the couch, & tell me I'm their special boy every single day. I'm a smart pup, too! I've mastered all the important stuff: sit, stay, come, down - and I even have a diploma to prove it! Oh, and I always do my business outside, just like a gentleman. I promise to fill your days with tail wags, happy zoomies, & all the love you could ever want. Could you be the one I've been waiting for? If you want to meet me, please submit an application here: https://www.stfrancis-care.org/adopt Love, Craig Please visit: Https://www.stfrancis-care.org/adopt for adoption information including the adoption application
