8 years old, 60 pounds

Personality: good running partner, snuggler, playful, smart, adaptable, goofy/funny, outgoing, independent, energetic, and affectionate.

Meet Corey, a goofy, big-hearted boy whose favorite things are cuddles, belly rubs, and being close to his people. He has a wonderfully balanced personality, affectionate and social without being clingy, and he is perfectly happy relaxing on the couch or in his crate while you get things done.

Corey is house trained and can be trusted home alone uncrated, though he also loves his crate. He enjoys walks with plenty of sniffing, can keep a good pace on a run, and settles nicely at home without needing constant exercise. He’s incredibly smart — his growing repertoire of words includes “stay,” “go to your crate,” “bring it,” “give kisses,” “heel,” and “leave it.” He also loves puzzles and mental challenges.

This funny guy is a charming “talker” who uses his voice and his beloved ball to communicate, sometimes adding a happy little growl of contentment when he gets his prize. He has made great progress with polite leash walking and calmer greetings, and he thrives with a consistent routine and clear boundaries.

Corey would shine as an only dog or with an experienced adopter who is enthusiastic about continuing to help him develop his skills and training. Does this smart cookie sound like a fit for your home? Apply today to meet Corey!
