04/01/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: I’M NOT OLD – I’M YOUNG!!!! I can almost hear Christopher emphatically telling me that, as I first thought that he was an old guy because his face is white. Instead, it’s actually handsome and unique markings and he’s awesome! He’s bouncy on the leash in his enthusiasm at a walk and making new friends, he’s likely housetrained, he’s an amazing photographer’s model, not minding being tethered for photos, making soft eye contact, sitting when asked to – he’s amazing! I sat down on some steps in the park to take some notes and Christopher lay down beside me with his head in my lap and started to purr when I pet him. I love a dog who purrs! He’s gorgeously groomed, the perfect weight for his size and his friendly, affectionate, and sweet personality makes him a rockstar in my book! In group with other dogs he was initially hesitant and then got playful. Affectionate, bouncy, fun and funny, Christopher is a young boy looking for his happily ever after. His movie star good looks and winning personality is guaranteed to attract friends wherever he goes. Shouldn’t you be by his side? The Urban Dictionary defines Christopher as usually handsome, caring, generous, funny, loving and compassionate. Wow – they must have had our Christopher in mind when they wrote that! Ask to meet him today.
