About Lego

Lego is about a year old and has been thriving in his foster home all winter. He’s a well-mannered houseguest: completely house trained, quiet through the night in his crate, and eager to please. Friendly with everyone, Lego loves snuggling with people and happily greets visitors—though he’ll bark to alert when strangers come to the door. With his energetic nature, he’s always ready for a brisk walk or some good playtime, especially with other dogs. To stay out of mischief, he’ll need plenty of exercise and a yard where he can run and chase after kids or toys. Lego is especially food-motivated, which makes training easier. During a cautious meet-and-greet with an unimpressed foster cat (separated by a storm door), Lego was curious but quickly retreated when the cat set boundaries. He gets along well with other dogs and children and would do great in an active family home. Click apply to start the adoption process.
