This boy is our last man standing and he is sooo sweet! Medium energy, very cuddly, high human focus! He is completely pad trained in an enclosed area and we’ve been transitioning outside. He’s been sleeping with his sisters and is transitioning to sleeping by himself now! He’s is sleeping from 10-5 currently! Message me to bring him home!
