Checkers

Meet Checkers! Checkers is a beautiful dog who also gets along with other dogs. Checkers gets excited to go out for a walk or to play in the play yards. He is great at playing fetch and will give you the toy back. He knows the sit command really well. He is a smart boy! He loves playing in the pool and will jump in and out loving to splish splash, and chase the hose. What a fun guy! Doesn't he sound like a great family pet? Come on over today and bring anyone living in the home (including any dogs) for a meet and greet with Checkers. He can't wait to see you!
