Johnny came into rescue one of the most scared dogs we've ever seen, but now he's a new dog! John would be a great dog for a family with kids who love to play. He also really likes having dog siblings, so he would be a great addition to a house that has a dog, especially one that wants a friend to wrestle with.
He has a wiry golden curly coat, a little bit poodle like. He's taller than your typical doxie, but at 13 lbs., he's small and light and really easy to pick up and snuggle with. Johnny loves to PLAY - with toys, dog or kids. He's still very young and active and will chew on things you might not want him to, so it's best to make sure he has plenty of dog approved items. John is very intelligent and learned how to use the doggy door on day 1. He uses it to go outside for play time and to do his business. He is 100% potty trained. John is very friendly and open to meeting people. He can sometimes act shy at first, but it wears off real quick, because what he wants most is to get pets and attention. Due to his energy level and youth, he will need daily activity. He's good on leash and enjoys exercise - running and walking. He stays in a crate when I am not home, and will sleep in his crate at night. He is food and treat motivated, which helps get him to do things you ask.
Don't pass up this young, adorable, active, loving boy.
