Story
Flash is almost the perfect dog. He is friendly, affectionate, incredibly smart, completely housebroken, and not destructive. He loves attention, cuddling up next to his people, and having his own special spot on the couch-preferably with a soft blanket.
When Flash is happy to see you, his excitement shows in his whole-body wiggle! He is content to spend hours relaxing and snoozing, but he is equally happy to play or head out for a walk.
Flash has a gentle, loving nature and enjoys being part of whatever his people are doing. Flash is the kind of dog who makes himself right at home and brings warmth, companionship, and plenty of personality to a household. He does not enjoy being picked up, he would rather sit beside you than on your lap, and table food does not impress him much, but love and attention definitely do.
Important: Flash Is an Escape Artist
Flash is remarkably clever and can find or create ways out of surprisingly secure areas. He once escaped by swimming across a lake to a neighbor's property. His new family will want to be aware of his talent for adventure and consider what arrangements will help keep him safe, including secure fencing, carefully monitored outdoor time, and secure equipment for walks. He is happiest when he is with his people, but he can't help his himself! If he sees an escape route is is GONE!
Aside from his adventurous streak, Flash is an exceptionally easy, loving companion with a truly wonderful personality. He is affectionate, bright, well behaved, and a joy to have around. Flash has so much to offer the family who welcomes him, and he has all the makings of an amazing family dog.
