Doggy Spotlight
Meet Garlic! You’ll need to make sure that you got your sketchers on and
water bottle in hand for this one as he is a RUNNER. Garlic is the cutest
high energy boy around and all he wants to do is SNIFF EVERYTHING
and PEE EVERYWHERE. If you’s looking for an adventure buddy, Garlic
will be your boy. He Doesn’t appread to have much leash or harness
training and will need an owner who establishes clear boundaries both
on and offleach to help teach him how to be a well-mannered boy. But
make no mistake, this is the loviest goofball around and he is in need of
someone who can both keep him active, and give him all the attention.
Garlic has lived with other dogs and appears to have potential to go to
a mulitple dog home so long as proper meets and greets happen first.
Come meet this silly boy today.
Garlic is about three years old and weighs 55 pounds.
