Story
Hi there! I am a lovable little puppy! Even though I am cute as a button I will take some work as I adjust into my new home. Don`t get me wrong, we will have a lot of fun in the meantime but I will need time to understand what`s expected of me. I will need help on all those fun puppy things like house training and basic obedience. I want to learn everything I possibly can. I am pretty excited about life and doing new things! My goal is to be your lifelong companion and I should learn quickly with praise, treats and little patience. I`d really love for us to get enrolled in training classes, after all school is the best way to get us both educated on what it takes to raise a puppy! It will be fun to watch me as I`m learning, after all puppies can be pretty silly. If you`re ready to take on all the fun and companionship, come on out to Wayside Waifs today!

Story
Neko is a great dog. He is house trained and knows all the tricks! Sit, lay down, shake (both paws), high five, stay, and leave it. He is very treat-motivated. Neko loves to go to the dog park and to doggie day care to play with other dogs. He loves to play chase and tug-of-war with his toys. Neko does not show any aggressive behavior, doesn't nip or growl, and is good with kids. He doesn’t bolt out doors, or chase squirrels or birds. He only plays with his own toys and doesn't get into the hampers or trash cans or cabinets. He will do well with a family with a fenced-in yard where he can run around and get his energies out. While he is a great dog friend at the park, he struggles around other dogs while he's on a leash. He wants to meet every dog and will pull and jump at the opportunity. Given his large size and strength, he has to be walked by a strong teen or adult. He prefers not to spend too much time alone, so would thrive in a family where someone is home most of the time.
