Weighing in at 18 pounds, this little guy is house trained, sweet, and playful, with an easygoing nature once he settles in. His absolute favorite pastime is chasing tiny tennis balls.

He's also more comfortable around women, showing a bit of wariness towards larger men, but with time, he can build trust.
