　　A Little About Me: I was not a happy camper when I first landed in the shelter and did not want to be touched at all! Well that has now changed and although I don`t prefer invasive handling I really enjoy going for walks with my handler, and petting. I bond very quickly with my handler and once I get to know my person I have a silly side. I am not an in your face type of guy and prefer people to go slow with me, but once I get to know I am very sweet. I am ready to continue to grow in a home of my own. Want to give me a chance to show how amazing I can be then send an email so we can set up a meet and greet!
