He has big brown eyes, soft ears and a tail that wags endlessly.. He is a a very smart, happy, loving pup looking for his forever home. He loves everybody!!! He loves walks, playing with his toys and did I say treats? He is very food and praise motivated. “Good boy” and a chest scratch are a close second to a little treat. He is a puppy, behaves likes a puppy, eager to please, but still wants to jump and play, you know, those normal puppy things. He is a quick learner. Knows “sit”, “shake” or “paws” most of the time. Loves walks!! Is easily distracted by all the sites, ie dogs, people. He wants to say “hello” to everyone. Seems more interested in the person than the dog. He knows a firm “sit”, means I am supposed to hang out by foster mom and just wag my tail until the distraction (ie person, dog) passes.
