Story
Hello, thank you for considering Sumo! Sumo was a dog of 5. The lady asked if I or someone I knew was looking for a dog. As this is my first time having a dog, I didn't think to ask about the breed. Although I like Sumo and care about him, I personally would like to rehome Sumo to someone who has a bit more time on their hands and is more of a dog lover than I am. Sumo is very loving!
