My story

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

The name is Acorn, and I guess you can say...I`m nuts about you. While my delicious chocolate coat may be the first thing you notice about me, the thing that`s most compelling about me is my super duper, extra large, gigantic BRAIN! I pick up on new things at the speed of light, especially since I love toys and snacks so much. I`ve already learned sit, come, and I`m working on paw and down. I`ve spent time in a foster home, and my foster mom said I`m perfectly housebroken, too! When we`re out in nature together, I`m a `no nonsense` walker and will take a brisk hike with you whenever you`d like. Once we`re back inside, I`ll curl up at your feet and snooze while you get work done. I`m extremely in tune with my person and will always be waiting for you to tell me what`s next. I can be slow to warm up to strangers, mainly men (I`m a lady`s man, what can I say?), but I do warm up faster if treats are involved. I`m still getting to know other pups, but so far, so good! If you are looking for a loyal adventure partner, I`m your guy. Let`s meet!
