A little bit about Heinz:
- kids unknown, older recommended due to over-arousal, jumping, mouthing
- cats / small animals unknown
- dogs unknown, potential for dog in home pending successful dog-to-dog

If you're looking for a high-energy dog to join you on adventures, then the friendly and outgoing Heinz may be the one for you! Even though he was found as a stray, he's remarkably social. There's nothing he loves more than playtime and fetch! But like his name sake, Heinz is full of beans; he tends to get overstimulated easily which sometimes ends with him mouthing or jumping all over his people. Heinz's ideal home should be prepared to help him learn better doggy manners with proper training and patience. Luckily he's a very smart, treat-motivated boy! There's not a lot known about his history so it's unclear how Heinz would do in a home with other animals, so slow and proper introductions are a must! But we are offering 3 free consults with our Behaviour team to help him settle into a new home. He's waiting as patiently as he can for you to come and take him, so don't delay and see Heinz today!

Note that many dogs do not reach full size until they are about a year and a half old. The weight listed here is the dog's current weight.
