Caesar is still a big puppy at heart and would thrive with a family that can offer patience, understanding, and plenty of time to help him settle in.

Once you earn his trust, you’ll have a companion who’s playful, affectionate, and always ready for an adventure—especially if water is involved! He absolutely loves stuffed toys, training sessions, and car rides, and knows several impressive cues like sit, down, shake, spin, stay, come, and even more are in progress.
