This smart, little guy has already figured out the doggie door and is getting close to being potty trained. Everyone seems to fall in love with him, because he has such a cute button nose. He has a calm demeanor after bursts of puppy energy. We hope to place him in a stable, loving home (if there are children, they should be age 5 or over). Thanks for looking!
