Newton is fully vetted, house trained, and crate trained. He has plenty of playful energy—he’ll run, chase, and romp with his favorite people and canine companions. His go-to toys include stuffed animals, bones, and anything for a good game of tug. With the right person willing to give him a shot, Newton is sure to become a loyal, fun companion.
