Remington is such a friendly boy! He’s sweet as pie and we can’t figure out why nobody has chosen him yet. He’s lost weight because of the stress at the kennel. He is 35-45 pounds and small! This sweet baby boy is getting tired of living in a kennel. It’s a loud and lonely place to be growing up. He gets very excited when someone shows him attention and love. He is playful, good with other dogs, and is more than ready for you to pick him up. He is approximately 2 years old, neutered, heartworm negative, up to date on his shots, and is on flea and heartworm prevention.
