Hello there! You know what I think I'd like to be? A camping, travel, and hiking buddy. That'd be swell. I am so smart (not to brag but I am) and learn so quickly that I bet I'll have this off leash "with me" thing down pat in no time. I aim to please my people so being close by is important to me and what's closer than all of us inside a tent! And we'll have s'mores around the campfire and tell ghost stories. That sounds like a great life to me! Plus, I'm puppy perfection when I ride in the vehicle. I sit nice, watch out the window, and will have a grand time heading to places with my family. So, I'd be a good travel dog, camping pup, and hiking friend. What else? Hmmm I'm also a fabulous play partner for another dog while I live at Desert Haven so I'm sure I can transfer that to another dog in my new home. I like to play play play then sleep sleep sleep. Then when we wake up let's play some more! I'd also do great as an only dog as long as my family commits to giving me exercise and playtimes so I can burn my puppy energy in productive ways. Tug, chasing balls, walks, etc will do! I'm only 11 months old right now and full of excitement and eagerness. I have big energy and like to have firm boundaries from my people. I'm one of those real good boys who make their family super proud and listen very well when I know what I'm supposed to do. I don't get upset when you boss me; I don't want to be in charge I'm just a puppy! I like to be outside and I love water too! I could be a swimming dog! I could be a walking companion because I hold the distinction of being the dog at Desert Haven that pulls the least. Yep, that's right, I enjoy walking alongside my people. Then when the volunteer dog walkers sit down I often will sit right on the bench too for some petsies and some snuggles. I think what my family will enjoy about me the most is how much they love me, how often I make them smile, and how proud they will be of me. I am looking for a family that watches over me and guides me to be the best adult dog ever! And since I'm already 11 months old we better get started very soon! Is a goodest boy in your future? I'm here! It's me! Love, Twix
