~ I can live in a single-family home, condos and apartments considered.

~ I am a high-energy kind of dog and am looking for a home where I can get lots of exercise every day.

~ I want to live with kids over the age of 12, pending a meet and greet. I can be a little shy and want to be with people who can read my body language. 

~ I have not had much experience with cats or dogs but am willing to consider sharing my home with a furry friend, pending a meet and greet.

~My coat is very beautiful, but it will need routine grooming for preventing matting!
