Springer is a handsome, friendly dog. He was a little shy at first, but once I petted him and told him he was a good boy, his worries slipped away, and I had a new friend. He knows how to sit and lie down for treats, and he enjoyed chasing a few toys and trying out the kiddie pool to cool off. The person that cared for him until he was brought to the shelter, said he's good with kids (he's been around children ages 5 to 17) and is also good with other dogs. He's a great buddy, and I enjoyed spending time with him.
