Hey there, future best friend! I’m a big scruffy ball of energy looking for someone who can keep up with me! I’ve got a heart full of love and a playful spirit, but I’ll be honest, I can be a bit stubborn. I love to roughhouse, and sometimes I forget that play biting isn’t the best way to show affection. That’s why I need a strong leader who will teach me good manners with patience and consistency. I have tons of energy, so a vigorous lifestyle will suit me best. If you love hiking, running, or just playing until we’re both exhausted, I’m your guy! I’m still working on my social skills and play style, so I’ll need someone who’s willing to help me learn the ropes. If you’re looking for a fun-loving companion who’s ready for adventure, I’d love to meet you! Think you’re up for the challenge? Come say hi! I promise I’m worth it! The highlights… -Lots of bones and strong toys are a must! -Silly and entertaining to watch -I am very active and will benefit from lots of exercise -I love playing in water! My ideal home would include… -Patience is key. I have been in a shelter for the majority of my life, so I may not be familiar with household routines, basic commands, or even simple things like stairs or furniture. -Experience with training, and/or under-socialized dogs. -Exercise and Mental Stimulation. Dogs with limited past experiences often have pent-up energy and curiosity. Regular exercise, enrichment activities, and puzzle toys will help me thrive and prevent boredom
