Story
I am a traveling electrician. I am 24 years old and unfortunately work takes me all over. I used to have a local job, however, I have to take work where I can get it now. Bo stays with my parents for short periods of time but he needs a family that can love him full time. It hurts me to do this but I have to do what’s best for him. He is an amazing, smart boy. He is 2 1/2 years old and he loves to play fetch with a ball or frisbee. He IS NOT aggressive at all. It amazes me how calm and collected he is around other dogs and people. He loves to play with other dogs. He loves unleashed walks and his recall is impeccable. I take him on hikes off leash all the time. He truly is one of the smartest dogs I’ve ever seen. He is shy with new people but once he warms up to you he thinks you’re his best friend.
