* Pitiful boy that is in need of a hero
* Arrived at our shelter with wounds on his face and back
* Is on the mend and hoping that an amazing forever home is in his future very soon

* Happy, excited, and friendly greeting new people
* Does need some work with basic manners and training (jumps up and gets mouthy when excited)
* Food motivated and eager to learn- very smart boy
* Introduced to dogs at the shelter and seems a bit unsocialized
* Did ok calmly existing near them on a leash, but did not enjoy interacting more than that with most
* Wanted to play with a female, but had a rough, herding type of play style
* Would need very slow, monitored introductions to dogs on leash if he were to live in a home with one
* Curious and playful when meeting cats, seemed respectful
* Was around dogs, cats, and children in his previous home without issues
