Did you know that October is National Adopt-a-Dog Month? So, what are you waiting for?!

I’m a high energy and independent natured boy who was found as a stray and no one claimed me. I’m a little on the thin side from my days wandering but with good meals, I should fill out nicely in no time. I’m friendly meeting folks but I’m also quite happy just doing my own thing. I do get excited around small furry critters so I need a home without cats and other animals.

I am friendly meeting other dogs. I’d love to find a family where I can get a lot of aerobic exercise as well as the chance to go on exploration hikes. I love sniffing!! I do need training but the good news is my adoption includes a discount on Dakin dog training classes.

If you’d like to meet me, I’m waiting for you at the Dakin Adoption Center in Springfield!
