He came to the shelter after his previous owners could no longer keep him, and he has experience living with another dog. Full of energy, Thano loves sprinting through the yard and eagerly chasing toys, but sometimes his excitement gets the better of him—he might forget his manners and jump up before remembering to sit for the next throw. He handles the leash well, regularly checking in with his human during walks even as he sniffs every new scent. Thano's absolute favorite is playing in the baby pool; there's nothing he enjoys more than making big splashes and then lounging in the water. He’s comfortable around other dogs and may get along with cats, depending on his mood. Thano is housetrained and thrives with families who appreciate an active companion willing to invest a bit of effort into keeping up with his exuberance.
