Hi! I'm Neo and I traveled all the way from Texas to find my forever home. I maybe blind but that doesn't slow me down one bit. I can map out my surroundings very quickly and have learned to go up and down 2 or 3 stairs by myself. More than 3 stairs I am unsure about going up and down.
At 6 months old I am still very much a puppy, though I look like a large dog. My foster mom says I'm going to be a big boy when I'm fully grown. I'm a very happy boy and have never met a stranger. Meeting new people is very exciting. Due to my size, energy level and being unable to see my foster mom is unsure about me being around young children.
I love to play with toys! When I find a toy I entertain myself really well. I also love to play with my furry foster siblings. Chasing them around the backyard, wrestling with them or playing tug with a rope is so much fun.
I am up to date on my shots and already neutered, so I'm ready to find that perfect forever home. If you think I could be your new best friend, fill out an application on the Speak for unspoken website.
