Neutered
65 lbs

Meet this happy-go-lucky boy whos always ready for his next adventure! Hes an athletic, playful pup with a big personality and even bigger energy level. Whether hes chasing tennis balls, carrying around squeaky toys, or digging giant holes in the yard like its his full-time job, he keeps life entertaining. He would thrive in a home with plenty of room to run and play.

He is fully house trained and crate trained no accidents in his crate, and only occasional accidents in the house if he isnt let out in time. He walks fairly well on a leash, although every walk turns into a sightseeing tour because he loves stopping to inspect absolutely everything along the way.

This goofy guy loves other dogs and enjoys playing, but hes still learning that not every dog wants to wrestle forever. Hes also good with kids, though his excitement can lead to jumping, so continued training would help him learn better manners. Cats are currently an unknown.

Hes an extroverted, curious dog who gets very excited when people come home and may bark at other dogs or during exciting moments. One thing to know about him: he is an impressively messy drinker and will happily wipe his wet face across your legs afterward as a sign of affection.

His foster family is continuing to work on polite play behavior, jumping, and general manners, but his loving, adventurous spirit makes him a joy to be around. If youre looking for a fun, active companion who will keep you laughing and always be ready to play fetch, this sweet boy might be your perfect match!
