Pet of The Week- Genghis! |
|
Meet Genghis! Genghis a 4 year old Lab/Rottweiler mix and boy does he have both of those personalities. He was an owner surrender at no fault of his own. After we got him neutered, Genghis turned right around and is everybody's best friend now. He seems to do okay with most of the other dogs in the outside kennels and loves to play in the kennel up front. Genghis loves to play fetch and play in the water. He is smart like the Lab and stubborn like the Rottweiler, so it would take a special person/family to love this dog with all his quicks and great personality. We would recommend him go to a home with no young children.
