This friendly dog loves playing with his dog friends and engaging with kids, showing a gentle nature and making everyone smile. O'Connell has a funny quirk; when he's excited, he gets the zoomies and wags his tail so hard that he nearly bends in half. His chatter adds even more fun to his playful antics. Though he gets along well with dogs, kids, cats, and even rabbits, O'Connell is still learning the ropes. He will need support with potty training and basic obedience skills. This young pup is eager to learn and grow into the best companion possible with your help. If you're looking for a fun-loving, goofy addition to your family, O'Connell could be the one for you!
