Robin's energic and athletic spirit makes him a joyful companion for playtime, and his friendliness shines through with people and fellow dogs alike. Robin spent some time as a stray around a tire shop, where staff welcomed his visits, but realized he would thrive in a home where he receives more focused attention. While he already knows some basic commands, Robin still displays some puppy habits, like getting mouthy when particularly excited—a gentle reminder that ongoing training will help him mature and bond with his future family. He's looking for someone ready to guide and cherish his spunky, affectionate personality. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
