If your looking for an outgoing companion that loves going places, hiking, running, going for walks and meeting new people look no further! And when the adventures are over Dewey is happy to chill and enjoys lap time. We strongly recommend that all our dogs attend obedience classes because you get to learn commands together, and it offers an opportunity for confidence building and socialization for the dog. We are still learning how Dewey does with cats and children and Dewey, like all puppies, is still in process of leash learning. Dewey 's Story: Dewey was found and rescued from a pond by his foster.
