Story
I got him from someone who had an accidental litter of puppies at 8 weeks old. He is 8 months old. He loves any sort of enrichment activity and knows a few commands. He tends to get over excited in public areas and will bark and jump. He is a great dog I just don’t have the resources to care for all of his needs.
