Currently, I'm living at the Animal Rescue League of Boston's Dedham shelter. I've got a fun personality and I love to fetch. I am a pro-fetcher and will drop the ball right at you feet. I am a busy boy at home and am not planning to be a couch potato - I like to be on the go! The more exercise I have, the less I'm going to be inclined to find things to entertain myself. As a Pomeranian mix, I have a thick coat that will require regular brushing to keep it…
