He is a high-spirited, smart dog who thrives on activity and loves being out and about with his people. Whether it's running, tug of war, or exploring outdoors, Sarge is always ready for fun and mental stimulation. This guy is fantastic with other dogs and easily makes friends—especially those his size or larger. He's even-tempered with everyone he meets, including young kids, though older or dog-savvy children are best due to his excited jumps. Sarge picks up on social cues quickly and respects other dogs' boundaries. At home, he would really enjoy a canine playmate and a family who stays active. Sarge is both house trained and crate trained. He's comfortable free roaming too, never destructive, and loves nothing more than curling up on the couch to watch the world go by. Out on walks, Sarge can get curious and pull, but with some leash guidance (he's used to a gentle leader), he responds well to corrections. At heart, he’s a true lovebug—cuddly, friendly, and ready to charm anyone. His toy-hoarding habit and adorable post-dinner somersaults just add to his quirky appeal. He’d fit best with an active adopter or family who enjoys outdoor adventures and can give him continued leash work, plenty of playtime, and mental challenges. Sarge is looking for someone ready to share all the joys of an energetic and loyal companion. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
