Ronaldo is a very sweet boy who never had a place to call home until he was rescued, HIs foster said that he is eager to please and good with calm, confident female dogs. He is extremely food motivated and he’s active. No young kids, he can get a little mouthy when excited, especially if he thinks you have a treat in your hand. He’s handsome, healthy and ready for a forever home.
