Bishop handles walks smoothly and genuinely enjoys meeting new people, greeting with a tail wag and an easygoing attitude. Toys are Bishop’s main passion; squeaky, chewy, or bouncy, he’ll make every one his prized possession and show it off at every opportunity. He easily adapts to most family environments, especially where there’s a steady rotation of toys and people who appreciate his welcoming, social energy.

If you want a friendly, adaptable companion who will fill your home with energy and affection, Bishop could be the dog you’ve been waiting for.
