He lives in a boarding type situation with volunteers taking care of him. He has lots of outside playtime and goes to doggie daycare as well. He loves to run and play with toys and other dogs. He is a very sweet natured boy. He recently went to a local winery and also to senior night at bingo and wowed all the folks! He was great with all the people there … especially the older people. Has been to events in town and did well with crowds and noises.
