My story

Looking to add a playful puppy to your family? Well my name is Lightning and I may be a great addition to your family. I am a handsome fellow with a soft black coat with hints of brown brindle running through it and ears that go on for days. I am six months and weigh 33 pounds and will be a big boy when fully grown. I am a well-rounded pup who has lived with young children, other dogs and cats. I am also crate trained. Like all puppies, I am an active dog who loves to run and play. My favorite game is fetch and I will even bring the ball back to you (well most of the time!). I also like playing with stuffies that squeak and am a big fan of water. I love the baby pool here at the shelter! I would make the perfect partner for an active person who loves going on outdoor adventures. I would make a great running or hiking buddy. As I am still very young, I am looking for someone who can provide me with the guidance and training that I will need. But I am off to a really good start -- I do a perfect sit for my treats. So if you have an active lifestyle and are looking for loving four-legged friend, we may just be the perfect match. I can't wait to meet you!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Lightning, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
