Hemingway is a sweet little guy with big dog energy. He does not like quick movements or being grabbed at (will nip) and tends to “guard” his person. Because of this, he would do best in a home without kids. When he feels safe, he’s a cuddle bug! Hemingway is ready for his forever home, could you be the right home for him?
