ABOUT STRIDER
Personality: friendly, playful, a little shy at first
Favorite things: enjoys chase play with other dogs, even dogs bigger than him
Training: knows sit, down, and shake - really loves learning new commands
Exercise: an energetic little dude who would happily go on a hike with you or a neighborhood walk to sniff the roses
Care status: neutered, vaccinated, microchipped
THE IDEAL HOME
Best match: Would do best with an active family or couple. He's a smart boy, so someone who could work with him on commands and even tricks would be so much fun for him!

Cats? unknown
Kids? older kids okay - no toddlers since he can be jumpy
