Im working on learning about the world around me and would love a patient home to help me grow.<br/><br/>If youre looking for a curious companion who will keep you on your toes and share lots of laughs, I might be your guy.<br/><br/>I qualify for a fee waived adoption during World Pup Month now through July 31!
