It is unknown if I have ever lived with other animals or children. I would do best in a home with only adult humans. I love to be loved, but on my own terms! Let's brush up on some canine body language together! Not only do I pull at heart strings, but I also pull on leash! I will need someone to help me with my leash manners.
