Ezekiel

Camry, now called Ezekiel, had kind of a rough beginning with his new family, but some training and treatment for a skin allergy transformed him from an unruly puppy into a wonderful addition to his new family. They wrote: "He is REALLY smart and can sit, stay, lay, shake, kiss, jump, dance, and roll on command. He can stay in a "down stay" for up to 10 minutes without issues. He is learning to ring a bell when it's time for him to use the potty. He LOVES the kids and lets them crawl all over him. He is really popular in our neighborhood and he prances during his morning and afternoon walks - everyone wants to pet him."
