About Acorn

Acorn is a lovely golden/reddish colored male dog about 6 months old, born approximately August 2025. We’re not positive what he is, but guesses have been Golden Retriever, Yellow Lab, American Pitbull Terrier and Vizsla. So….a mutt! He is very friendly, loving, curious and adventurous! He needs a fenced yard and a friend to play with! Housebroken, good indoor and outdoor dog. Completely vetted and neutered. Contact Sherry at 903 715-8120 for more info
