My name is Achilles, and I am a fun and sweet boy looking for my forever home! I love to play and be active, and at night I am very cuddly and sleep well in a comfy spot. Although I am about 5 years old, I am still a bit of a puppy and learning some basic commands. I have a good amount of energy, so being able to go on 3-4 walks a day or run around outside is important for me. I absolutely love to play with other dogs, but it can get to the point where I'm a little too much for my friends and they need a break from me. When this happens, I am getting used to staying in a gated area to give them space. I am really good at going in my crate for a bit, as well. I am potty trained and know to go pee as soon as I get outside! I'm still working on my gentle mouthing, as I just want to be a puppy. I get up with my humans around 6:00 AM to go potty, then get fed breakfast. I'm learning to sit and wait while my food bowl is brought to me, as I can get very excited for food. I may jump up and bark a little bit, but it's something I can work on. I can be a quick learner when treats are involved! I absolutely love food and bones, but toys have not excited me much yet. I may still need to learn how to play with them. I've never met any kiddos or cats. While I am sweet, I'm not always aware of where my body is and can't always control my excitement, so this is something to be mindful of if there are small children around. I will try to sit on your lap to snuggle despite being 60 lbs, so be ready for that, too! I think I could do well in an apartment, as long as I have several opportunities to get some energy out and non-toy items are kept out of my reach. I am not the best at free roaming yet while my humans are gone, as I am very curious and can get into things. While I'm learning what it means to live in a home, I am a loveable and friendly boy who just wants to play and be loved. With some practice and training, I think I will be a wonderful dog who will bring you lots of smiles with my goofiness!
