My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ladies and gentlemen, get ready to meet the one and only Sumo, the red hunkalicious with a personality as strong as his name! This neutered male is a seasoned pro at 6 years old, which means he`s got all the wisdom and charm you could ever ask for. Weighing in at a solid 75.80 lbs, Sumo is a force to be reckoned with (in the most lovable way possible).

Not only is Sumo an expert at walking on a leash, but he`s also got a social calendar that would put any A-lister to shame. His friends take him on day fosters weekly, where he struts his stuff in public, meeting people like a true superstar. Just one thing to note: Sumo`s world is a cat-free zone, but don`t worry, he more than makes up for it with his love for humans.

And let`s not forget about Sumo`s love for car rides! Whether it`s cruising down the highway or sticking his head out the window like a true adventurer, this pup knows how to enjoy the journey. So, if you`re looking for a four-legged companion who`s equal parts cool and cuddly, Sumo is your guy. Don`t wait any longer to make him a part of your life – he`s waiting to be the co-pilot of your dreams!
