Star-Lord is a lively and energetic dog who would thrive in an active and engaging environment. He has a love for trail walks and the potential as a running buddy who would enjoy regular exercise and outdoor activities.
The fact that he gets along well with other dogs is positive, especially if he's matched with an adopter who has a resident dog who shares his rough and tumble playing style.
Star-Lord is 98% house-trained, good with cats, listens very well to corrections, great on a leash, not a barker, knows come, sit, drop-it, and will be quick to pick up on continued training. Managing his "puppy chaos energy" might require patience and consistent training, but with the right family, he has the potential to be a well-adjusted and joyful addition. Providing Star-Lord with the physical and mental stimulation he needs, along with positive reinforcement training, will help him thrive and become a wonderful companion.
Star-Lord likes being in the same room with his people, and prefers being confined in a small room as opposed to a crate when you are gone. He loves squeaky toys, small stuffies that he can slowly destroy, climbing ALL over his people when excited, playing with other dogs, long meandering walks to sniff all the things.
If you're looking for a lively, energetic young dog, apply to adopt Star-Lord!
