About me Hi there, I'm Horatio, a curious and playful guy who loves to explore. I can be a bit shy at first, but I'm a friendly boy who enjoys getting to know people. I'm still learning my leash manners, but I'm eager to learn and I'm always up for an adventure. I'm looking for an active home with patient and understanding owners who can provide me with the training and guidance I need to thrive. If you adopt me, you'll have a loyal and loving companion who will bring joy to your life. Not only do you get my unconditional love and a new BFF, it includes my spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, microchip, and even some cool coupons! Why wait? Come meet me today!
