Description:

02/08/25 13:11Clark Kent might be a bit shy at first, but don’t let that fool you -- this bouncy, playful boy has a heart of gold! Clark has two favorite things in the world: doggie playgroups and plush squeaky toys. He’s a big puppy at heart, always ready to dive into playtime. In fact, he’s known for his silly antics, like opening the toy chest to sneak away with toys; he’s quite the clever guy! This handsome pup is food and toy motivated, making training a breeze and loads of fun. He already knows “sit” and loves to show off his skills, especially if there’s a treat or game involved.While Clark might need a little patience in new situations, he warms up quickly with playtime or tasty snacks. He’s a social butterfly with dogs and a sweetheart with people, and he’s ready to find his forever family. If you’re looking for a playful, charming, and loyal companion, Clark Kent is your superhero in the making!10/31/24 11:28Reason animal needs rescue: Shy dog that would benefit from a calmer environment.
