Hi, my name is Cruz! I'm a mixed breed dog looking for a loving family to call my own. My new home: ♡ Could have an existing female dog ♡ Could have teenagers ♡ Needs secure fencing at least 1.2 metres high I love spending time with people and playing with toys, I also enjoy going on little adventures to experience what life is all about! I am pretty good on the lead and have started learning to sit. I would be best suited to a home without small children as I can get a bit overexcited sometimes and forget my manners. I have met a few dogs and could do well in a home with a tolerant female dog, because I get a bit overexcited and want to play endlessly, so I need someone who can teach me to rest as well. Unfortunately, I am not suited to a home with cats. I do have a medical waiver, please chat with the team to find out more. If you're looking for a loyal companion and would love to help a teenage dog discover how wonderful life can be, I could be the perfect match for you! I can't wait to meet you! Love, Cruz
