He is a very good boy that gets along great with other dogs. He is an active breed that needs a "job" to do to keep him busy and happy. He will only be adopted out to a family that has experience with his breed.

What's Happening in Virginia Government?
Learning what's happening in local government is sometimes easier than finding out what's happening on the state-level, especially when you live in a smaller locality like King William County. You can attend meetings, check out our website, and read this newsletter! But sometimes it's a bit more difficult to know all the different things happening in the entire State. For Virginia news, some good places to look (without the news commentary) are the General Assembly website where you can see bills currently being discussed (and read them in their entirety) and search for current legislation, and the Governor's website where you can read Executive Orders and Directives and official News Releases. The Official Site of the Commonwealth of Virginia also has a wealth of information and can link you to just about anything you'd like to know.
