About Johnny

Johnny is as sturdy as they come, carrying himself like a four-legged athlete who never turns down a pickup game. He brings plenty of muscle and loves a matching energy in his people—think post-gym ball toss, marathon walks, and someone who doesn't mind being shadowed by a powerhouse wagging a whip-strong tail. Johnny never misses a ball and is happiest when he's on the move. He pulls hard on a leash and, with his bowling ball tendencies, can easily topple small kids—so he needs an active, breed-aware adult home, not one with children. Johnny also needs to be the only animal in the household, so no canine or feline siblings; just you and him taking on the world (or the nearest hiking trail). Give him some structure, keep up with his active streak, and he’ll stay happy as can be. Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
