Update: I stopped at Graham's kennel gate wondering, "Who's this handsome boy?" Graham has been training in Project Homebound - Athens, GA, the Jail Dog Program, for several months and has filled out since arriving at the shelter four months ago, so I didn't recognize him right away. He looks great and was smiling from ear to ear. I remember how Graham loved playing with toys, and he still does. The turf was too hot for playing fetch, so he enjoyed some toys in the shade. He also showed me how well he could sit and lie down for treats. Graham is a smart, well-behaved dog who loves being with friends and having fun. He's a super buddy and upon adoption, comes with two free training sessions from Bone-A-Fide Dog Training!

Graham had been watching me play with other dogs and wanted to leave his kennel to play, too. As soon as we entered the interaction pen, he found a toy and began running and having fun. I threw a tennis ball for him and soon learned he knows how to play fetch and was good about bringing it back. He'd drop the ball, I'd reward him with praise and a treat, and we kept playing. Graham is a happy, medium-sized fellow who loves being with people and having fun.
