Forrest (72lbs) is happy, wiggly, and boy can he run! He is seeking a loving and active family to give him the exercise and mental stimulation he needs to live his best life. Forrest came to the shelter because his owner was experiencing housing issues. He previously lived successfully with another young dog with whom he got along. According to his previous owner, Forrest is "friendly, cuddly, and playful." Forrest enjoys ropes and ball toys. He loves chasing tennis balls! Due to his high levels of both energy and vocalness, we Forrest would do best in a large home with a yard and some space between neighbors. Forrest has a history of being a good doggy-brother and was excitable but friendly when meeting another dog here at the shelter. If you have another doggy family member, please bring them to the shelter to meet Forrest and make sure he is a good fit for your pack!
