Puppy*adopted

Meet Puppy... His name fits him perfectly! He was born on 10/15/04, so he’s just turned 3 and this adorable male is just that - one big PUPPY! His family doesn't have much time for him and with their son heading off to college soon and a new baby in the family, they know a home where someone can spend more time with Puppy would be best. He's a solid boy who's all muscle. This guy is in good shape!

* He is crated trained, house broken and respects fencing. He's a large male with beautiful markings. Even though he is crate trained, he's been doing well without it so it's not been used for some time.

* He does well with other dogs; big and small, when interacting at a dog park. However, Puppy has not been socialized with other dogs at his home or in one on one playdates. This would need to be slowly introduced to make sure he is fine in these situations too. He recently met a playful Aussie who seemed to really interest him. Another playful young dog, might be a great match.

* Seems to have a high prey drive. He's very interested in cats and squirrels so a home that is cat-free is a must. He's also birdy; although, he's had no formal hunt training.

* Very friendly and affectionate.

* He's always lived with children and is just fine with them. Apparently, he’s an outstanding Wiffle Ball fielder and can snatch the ball from the air before even making contact with the bat. He really enjoys the attention he gets from kids, but due to his size and excessive energy, we think a home where the kids are 8 or older would be best.

* While he's had some basic obedience, no one has really followed through. Puppy does jump and pull on a leash and doesn't know commands well. Some formal obedience and plenty of exercise should do the trick. Agility may be a perfect outlet for this bouncy boy!

* This guy can definitely relax. With plenty of exercise, he'll even put himself to bed at night... He wants to rest up for tomorrow and have more FUN :)
