My story

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

found as a 3 month old starving stray baby. Picked up from very hot pavement on a very hot day in the middle of a super busy intersection near the Titans football field in Nashville. Never claimed. He has been brought up to normal weight, is crate trained, can sit on command and has interacted with sever dogs of all sizes. Friendly puppy, very smart, willing to learn. Does not recognize a specific name yet. Pretty good on the housetraining and will go to a puppy potty pad and/or will ask to go outside sometimes already : ) Not old enough for his neuter but that will be required to be done when proper age is reached. 4-5 months old currently end of Sept 2025 so approx a May baby.
