Woof! Woof! Look at my silly picture with my goofy tongue! I am a silly older puppy that is working hard on my manners. I am getting better at walking on a leash each day. I love being outside, and sniffing everything that is on the ground, but isn't that what hounds do? The staff thinks I am part hound, and come visit me an take me for a walk to see for your self. I am a bit shy meeting people, but have met big people and little people at the shelter, and I have gently taken treats. When you come see me, the staff will show you how to have me sit and take treats from your hand. Pssst....I really like treats, and makes me feel more comfortable getting to know you. I also love looking for treats hidden in toys! Please come meet me, and I will do my best to impress you. I will need a home that will help me learn manners because as a stray, I did not learn about those when I was younger, Hope to see you very soon!
