Mr. Stallone loves his one on one time with the volunteers. He is super sweet and loves to cuddle and overall is a pretty chill guy. He would probably choose a back scratch over a ball (but as he gets more comfortable, we'll see if that continues to be the case). He had a bit of a rough start at the shelter with sore hind legs, but is on a joint supplement now for his hips. He does have a slight heart murmur that needs to be monitored, but no treatment at this time and it doesn't slow him down one bit. He is not a super high energy dog. He would be fine with backyard time and maybe a short walk for some exercise, depending on his joint supplement. He does bark at the other dogs in the shelter when they pass by, but this has gotten SOOOO much better as he has settled in to his routine with the volunteers. He is much more accepting of the other dogs and is less reactive to them. He will need to meet any potential brothers/sisters to make sure they are ok together. He did live with 8 cats before coming to the shelter, so we feel very confident that he would do well in a house with cats. If you are looking for a dog to hang out that doesn't need hours of play time, Stallone would be a good match for you.
