About Summit

Summit is a spirited, loving little dog who’s ready for life beyond the foster system. He’s spent too much time waiting for someone loyal enough to see him through. At home, Summit becomes a regular storyteller—his foster calls him chatty, eager to be part of whatever’s happening. He’s housebroken, great with other dogs, and clearly craves both affection and fun time with his people. A fenced yard will suit him well, as he likes to move and explore safely. Summit gets along with cats and other dogs, but does best in a home without children. Summit’s been searching for a home that sees him for the character he is—can you be the reason his luck changes? This talkative boy was born September 4, so he’s a practical, loyal Virgo at heart. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
