Pike is Looking For: His forever family! He came into the shelter a little confused about what was going on - but - he is oh so ready for his new chapter - he's got all that awesome young dog energy and wants to play and explore and then snuggle after a fun day together. Making pup pals is high on his wish list as well - and he'd also like to go to dog school, to learn all about being the bestest boy!Most of all, though, he wants to know where he belongs, to always be safe and loved. In exchange he promises loyal companionship for all his days. What do you say? Can you see him by your side?
