About Ford

Meet Ford—a one-year-old with the goofy spirit of a puppy and the kind of luck that lands him in the middle of garden parties. He’s got Shepherd and Labrador Retriever in his genes, which means his energy and size keep things lively. Ford’s the type to barrel after his dog pals, toss caution (and sometimes sandwiches) to the wind, and wind up a crowd favorite for his antics—even if he chases the occasional cat along the way. He’s sweet, a bit shy when things quiet down, but that doesn’t slow his tail for long. Ford gets on well with other dogs, but he’s best in a cat-free home. If you’re looking for an active, fun-loving companion who still needs some gentle encouragement in new situations, he’s ready to meet you. As a bonus, born February 20, Ford is a Pisces—known for big hearts and even bigger personalities. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
