Deuce has a beautiful, tan merle, short-haired coat with dark brown spots, and white on the tips of some of his toes. He has soulful, dark brown eyes and floppy ears that will melt your heart.

Meet Deuce! This guy is a playful, energetic puppy with lots of heart and personality. He has quickly become a Velcro boy who loves to be right beside his person (and give kisses) when not playing with his foster brother. Deuce will fit best with a very active person/family with no small children under 8 who will be committed to continuing his puppy training and meeting his vigorous exercise demands. Apartment life would not be a good fit for him.

Importantly, Deuce is learning how to be a good play buddy and all the good rewards that follow. He is also working on his manners, potty training, and crate training (which are all going well because he loves praise and is very treat-motivated). He loves other dogs but will also thrive as an only dog, provided he continues to get his doggie socialization. If you have some good chew toys/bones and are longing for a loving, new canine family member, look no further!
