Darwin

Howdy! I'm Darwin! I'm a 7-year-old, 70-pound German Shorthair Pointer and I'm super excited for a new adventure! I am in search of a new hiking buddy. I love off leash hikes in the woods or fields and will be your new best friend! I've grown up with kids and cats, and I do well with kids. I've spent time with kids aged 6 and older, and it's been wonderful. Although I haven't lived with other dogs, I've had great experiences with them at the dog park. Once in a while, a dog will rub me the wrong way but mostly, I get along with other dogs just fine so meeting any new housedogmate would be a great idea before taking me home. Overall, I've been around plenty of other dogs and had no issues. And get this - I get along well with cats, and I even like to playfully chase them! Now, onto my little quirks. I'm not a big fan of car rides, especially long ones. If I do need a long car ride, I prefer to be cozy in a crate. Like most dogs of my breed, I can get overstimulated with new people coming around but I really improve if I have had my exercise. Just take me out for my daily jaunt before guests arrive, and I will be much more cool and collected. The good news is that I am not a barker. I will alert for strangers coming but that is about it. Also, you can leave me home for periods and I am an angel. I won't disturb anything at all. The perfect home for me would have a spacious backyard or access to a field for walks. I need someone who can dedicate time and energy to fulfill my exercise needs. I adore following scents and exploring - it's my favorite thing to do! Are you my new person?
