Brock is a loving cuddly boy who loves car rides, long walks, and exploring new parks with his humans.

He can be a total couch potato between walks, chilling on his blanket, and playing with his favorite chew toy. Tug-of-war is his favorite game!

He loves people and looks for pets anywhere he can find them. He has met many children and loves to go up and sniff their hands to say hello.

He is great with other dogs. He plays carefully with smaller dogs and is not intimidated by larger dogs. Mostly he wants to say hi, then go back to exploring new smells by himself.

He is very food motivated so training new skills has been a breeze. He understands sit, down, shake, come, and touch and responds to his name very well. He's currently learning to understand stay and up. And he is house-trained.

Brock likes to go to sleep in his crate, finding it safe and a good place to relax. But he does want the door to be open.

Brock does have separation anxiety when left alone. He very much prefers spending his time with people. His fosters are working on this behavior and he is getting more comfortable with humans coming and going.

He will do best in a home that has direct access to a yard. He can be high-energy if he doesn't get enough exercise. Come meet this lovable boy!
