Story
Young, Single, White Male ISO of a family of my own.I enjoy long walks, hiking, watchng movies and belly rubs. Kids in my family would be plus but I can easily be in a monogamous relationship. I like fine dining with cheeseballs being my favorite. I am an atheletic kinda guy with "Tug of War" being my speciality. However, I also enjoy snuggling on the sofa, sleeping with my stuffed bunny or snuggling with my human. Early in a relastionship I prefer to be the only animal in the home. I want to make sure I get all the attention I missed out on for so long. I am easy going. playing and not too hard on the eyes. Darn near close to perfect.

Story
Amari first came to us from Animal Control in Bellville, Il back in October 2015.  Amari was adopted and her adoptive parents had to return her to the shelter due to them having to move and were unable to take her with them. Amari does well with well behaved children, needs proper introduction with other dogs but will not share his home with cats. Amari can be a bitleery of strangers but once she knows you willbe your best friend. Amari needs a home where she will be well socialized and well loved.We believe Amari to be approximately 4-5 years old.   PAW Animal Shelter is a high intake No Kill Shelter ran by a staff of 4.
