Meet Sergio! With his fluffy white coat, adorable face, and happy-go-lucky personality, Sergio is one irresistible little bundle of fun! Rescued from the streets of Houston, this sweet boy is now ready for a loving forever home. Sergio is a friendly, affectionate, high-energy fellow who loves everyone he meets! He adores playing with other dogs, ignores the resident cats, and greets everyone with a wagging tail. One of his favorite activities is splashing around in a kiddie pool or even a big water dish! He's a good traveler, and his housetraining is still a work in progress. Sergio is crate trained and, although initially a little anxious, settles down within 5-10 minutes and sleeps peacefully through the night. One important thing to know about Sergio is that he doesn't enjoy being completely alone. When left without people or other dogs, he becomes anxious. However, having a canine companion makes all the difference and helps him feel comfortable and secure. His ideal home would be an active family with someone home much of the time or, preferably, a playful doggie sibling. With his joyful personality and endless love to give, Sergio is ready to bring plenty of laughter, cuddles, and happiness to a family who will love him forever!
