Hello! I'm a happy-go-lucky, free spirit looking for someone with the right amount of activity and Netflix binging. I adore people, but I come off a little shy at first. You'll probably find me a little anxious when your first take me home, but with gentle encouragement and lots of love, I think I'll blossom quite quickly. I would love to go home with someone who loves daily exercise; I think I could be a great hiking companion. I am pretty strong though and might benefit from a harness or gentle leader. I did live with a cat and another dog and we all did well together. It's very likely that my exuberance could be too much for relaxed or less tolerant animals so please consider this before bringing me into a home with other pets. I also need to learn house training and/or kennel training. If I have a small room or area blocked off just for me, I seem to just relax and lay down once you're gone though. I just can't promise I won't get into mischief if you're gone too long; I am still a puppy at heart after all. I'd love to learn some manners and obedience too. I'm smart and attentive and feel I'd excel with some structure. I did well around kids in my last home, but I'm so strong and jump so much that I should go home with kids no younger than 9. I don't mean to hurt them, but I just don't understand that they can't handle me the way adults can. Once I chill out, I love to lay by you for belly rubs. I am ready to be the center of your world!
