Adopted him 4 years ago. Though not so fancy like my German Shepherd but he has unique personality. So friendly, energetic, loyal and loving being he is, he sometimes pampers my German Shepherd.

I rescued an indie dog when she was 1 month old. She's one of the sweetest dogs I've ever owned: her temperament is great, she loves to make friends at the dog park, loves to snuggle and is a good nap buddy, and she's very smart.
