About me Hi, I'm Angus! I'm a young pup with a mellow and sweet nature. I love being independent, but I'm always up for friendly games and energetic playtime. I'm a bit stressed and still learning the ropes of leash and obedience training, so I need a patient friend who can guide me. I promise to bring lots of joy and playfulness to your life. If you're looking for a loyal companion to share in your adventures and help me become the best dog I can be, I'm ready to join your family!
