My story

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

I came in as a stray and I live up to my name! So if you're looking for a high energy dog, I'm your guy. My friends say I am a fantastic hiking buddy and an extremely fun dog who loves people. I like to be outdoors, play in the water, and play with sticks and tennis balls. I am a ball of energy, but I also have great manners.

My adoption is sponsored by my RAD trip friends!!

2/17/26 RAD trip report- Today i got to go on a car ride and boy am i the best car rider! I also had a picnic, we played a lot in what was left of the snow! I still had energy to burn so we followed that up with a nice hike, i had to grab every stick i could find (its my favorite toy) i also met lots of new people and dogs on my hike and of course i had to make friends with everyone we passed, the other dogs not so much unfortunately. Three words to describe are energetic, loving and unique.

Rad trip report- 2/28/2026- Today i got to go on the explore park, i like to ride in the car, i like to be outdoors, my favorite thing to do is go on hikes, i love toys and i also love to run! 3 words to describe me are very energetic, i never stop i have LOTS of energy, I'm also sweet and gentle.
