The 3-year-old brindle-colored dog is considered a "volunteer favorite" by those at the shelter. Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control is currently trying to find homes and foster families for many dogs, there has been a huge influx of animals through the doors.

"He is ready for a new family. He loves to play with other dogs, he loves playing fetch," Melanie Perazzo said. "He's a great dog and if you're in a household that loves to be active, loves to go outside, spend time outside in your backyard, he's a great guy for you."

"He's such a great dog he's actually one of our volunteer favorites. He goes out on Doggy Day Outs where he goes out, explores the community. Goes to the park. He does such a great job outside, meeting new people. So, really, he's ready for a new home," Perazzo said.
