Tails of the week

By Courtesy Tails | November 4, 2019

Pleased to make your acquaintance. They call me Sir Snifferdoodle. I may have a fancy name, but I am far from it! In fact, I am a goofy, energetic young fellow who loves to rip it up in the yard with my dog pals. I've lived with older children and was good with them all. I also lived with a cat, and I never want to live with one ever again!! I'm house-trained, going to the door and barking when I need to go potty. Though I have a great time playing with other dogs, I am rather protective of my food with them. I am highly treat motivated and willing to learn new things. I hoping really hard to find a "furever" home very soon!
