Story
Neptune is a young male dog with lots of love to give. He is athletic and funny, but most of all he is loyal, playful and affectionate. He enjoys meeting new people and receiving pets and belly rubs. He is an active dog who would be great for someone who enjoys the outdoors and going on adventures. He's very smart, and with some training, he will be able to do tricks and be a star dog. He loves to play and run around, but is also very calm and collected. He's the perfect companion. With his friendly and playful attitude he will be quick to make new friends. If you are interested in adopting Neptune, fill out the adoption application so you can talk to my foster family.
