"Not only am I one good-looking dog, but I've got a winning personality. I already know several tricks, am a staff favorite, and love to show affection to all humans. I will need a good long walk and playtime to help combat my energy levels. I would do best in an adult-only home and just hope that Santa can give me a forever home this year! Check me out here."
