Hey friends! My foster mom tells me that I’m a little guy, but I don’t believe her. You see, I’ve got the biggest heart, I carry around the biggest toys I can find and I love to play with big dogs, so I must be big! I really want a forever home where I can get my fill of playtime, walks and all the snuggles. I’m a little shy around new people at first. Give me some time to warm up and come to you, and I’ll be in your lap begging for belly rubs in no time! Will you be the forever lap I’ve been looking to snuggle up in?

I do like my walks, but overall I'm more of a laid-back kind of dog.
