About Endo

He's a high-energy, playful dog who thrives on activity and enjoys toys that squeak or crunch. Endo is already housebroken and crate trained, and he’s mastered several commands like sit and lay (especially before fetch or kennel time). He's known for being both smart and eager, and his inquisitive streak sometimes shows up in digging or jumping up to greet people. Endo does great with men, women, and children. He’d enjoy a home committed to both giving him enough exercise and helping him channel his energy in positive ways. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
