10/17/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Stunning in his gleaming black and white coat, Quackers shows off his athleticism by jumping high to catch a ball. An avid ball player Quackers smiles and wags his tail with enthusiasm as we play. He seems anxious to meet every dog he sees, wagging his tail through the fence, but is a bit selective with whom he chooses to play when in group and doesn’t take correction well. Quackers shows off his housetraining skills as we head out the door and then his nice leash manners as we walk to the park. As energetic as he is off leash, he’s a “stop and smell the roses” dog on leash as we walk. So many new smells to discover he enjoys the walk as he stops to investigate. Gorgeously groomed, compact and ready to find an active home in which he’ll get plenty of exercise and playtime, Quackers is patiently waiting to meet you.
