This sweet ball of fluff will be anyone’s best friend. He’s the perfect mix of sweet, smart, fun, and attentive. He has high drive (but not high energy) and will be very easy to train. While he is not a huge fan of the crate, we have been working for a couple hours at a time to get him acclimated. He sleeps through the night, in a bed on the floor and is almost fully potty trained. he is a little shy at first, but very quickly will crawl in your lap and cuddle for hours.

The C litter came to us from our rescue partner in Johnson City, Tennessee.
