My story

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

West went for a field trip and this is what the volunteer had to say: West is perfect gentleman, I had never taken West out before so wasn't sure what to expect. He was calm, cool, and collected! The park was busy many of the fields were full of kids playing t-ball with lots of children and parents walking around. West seemed to enjoy the hustle and bustle and wasn't phased one bit. He also did not react when other dogs were nearby. He listened and definitely knows how to charm you. West stayed by my side the entire time and would sit calmly when I offered him a treat. He also loved the car ride and quickly laid down on the back seat for the trip. He would be a joy for any family.
