Greg and his siblings were abandoned at 7 weeks old, they were dropped over someone's fence while they were out of town. That family reached out to us directly because the local shelter was temporally closed due to cases of parvo. Greg was the biggest of the litter. He is very playful and loves the water. He is great with kids and other dogs. He has already been started on Flea and tick prevention plus heart guard. Greg is always ready for an adventure and is ready to meet his new family.
