Neil

Neil is a 1-year-old, 56-pound pittie mix who's ready for his next adventure! He recently took a trip to Shoreline Park, where he showed off his nice leash manners, enjoyed meeting new people, and happily accepted pets, gentle kisses, and plenty of attention. Neil already knows sit, takes treats gently, and loves carrying sticks and pinecones on his walks. After a game of tug and chasing stuffies, he's content to settle in for some quality cuddle time. He also enjoys playing with other dogs at the shelter and could do well with a compatible canine friend or as your one-and-only with dog pals to visit. Like many young dogs, Neil is an enthusiastic greeter and will benefit from continued positive reinforcement training. If you're looking for an affectionate companion who's up for walks, snuggles, and learning new things together, Neil would love to meet you!
