Hey guys!!!! So they call me Smudge, maybe it's the nose prints all over the back door, who knows. I have been settling in and getting to know the rules of the house, and they say I'm doing really good. So far my favorite things are running and playing with the other dogs and sunbathing on the deck.They say I'm a big guy, but I think they are telling stories. I may get a little excited and jump up, so please no little people as I don't want to accidentally hurt them (unless dog Savvy) . I would benefit from having a fellow doggie sibling to help me feel comfortable and show me the ropes.If you want to know more, please call my people—they will tell you how amazing I am Located in Belleville Ideal Home: A home with a fenced yard would be ideal since I'm active and athletic (I can clear an extra-tall baby gate when I really want to!). Apartment or condo living may not be the best fit, as I can be quite vocal when confined to a room.‍‍‍ Family Match: Best with older kids unless dog savvy due to my playful, bouncy nature. Not ideal for seniors as I can get excited and jump around. Other Pets: A dog sibling is preferred! I love making friends and enjoy having a canine companion. I play well with other dogs and have shown no prey drive.⚡ Energy Level: Active family preferred. I love fetch, chasing dog friends, sticks, logs, and outdoor adventures.️ Favorite Things: Playing, sunbathing, couch snuggles, tennis balls, and spending time with my people and dog buddies. Training: Knows sit, stay, and down, and is eager to please. Currently working on crate training and continuing to learn household routines. He's had only one accident in foster care, likely related to stress from the transition. Leash Skills: Friendly with everyone and wants to say hello, so he can pull on leash. Home Alone: Still settling into foster care, so we're learning what he's like when left loose in the house. He does enjoy a bit of counter surfing if given the opportunity!❤️ Personality: A happy, affectionate, goofy guy who doesn't quite realize how big he is. Loyal, loving, and ready to be someone's best friend!
