Connor is a high-energy, playful dog with a good bit of curiosity and a huge love for adventure. He never misses a chance to romp with stuffed toys—those are his comfort every night—and he’s quick to welcome a new canine friend into his playgroup. Connor has gotten along well with both dogs and cats, having made plenty of four-legged pals at the shelter. If you already have animals at home, arranging a meet-and-greet is a great idea to make sure everyone gets along. Connor has lived at the shelter for two years, making deep bonds with staff and picking up plenty of quirks along the way. He can be a bit mouthy when exploring new places or people, partly because he’s likely hard of hearing—or maybe just wants to experience everything more intensely. Once he’s had a chance to safely investigate his environment, he settles down and becomes a loyal friend. Treats and butt scratches go a long way with him! Though still working on mastering his leash skills and house training, Connor is a quick study who responds well to patient guidance. His energy makes him a better match for households with older children, as he could unintentionally knock over little ones during play. After a day full of excitement, he’s all about relaxing with you on the couch. Connor is waiting in Lakeside, AZ to meet the person or family who’ll bring out his best.
