My story

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

🔥 Get ready for Fuego to set your heart ablaze! 🔥

Fuego is a sweet boy on the search for his forever home. While he can take a little time to build trust, once you have it, he will be your best friend for life!

Fuego will be your adventure buddy and your couch buddy equally. He is great on leash and does great on the trail. He is laid-back and enjoys naps, especially right by your side! He loves getting all the belly rubs from friends!

He is very smart (and treat-motivated) and has done great in training. He knows “sit”, “shake”, and is eager to show you all his skills.

Fuego’s friends would love the chance to introduce him if you feel he would be a good fit. Come meet him today!
