Meet 2504-0394 Higgins (Off Site Foster)

HIGGINS - 1-5 years old, 72 pounds, friendly, takes treats gently, good on leash HIGGINS is a sweet and friendly boy who arrived at VBACAC as a stray.  For this, we know little about him but are learning he's a playful and silly boy, even kind of goofy. He has very pretty light brown brindle fur.  He walks well on a leash and takes treats gently. He sits on command and retrieves tennis balls like a pro. Higgins has been easy to meet and easy to handle. While walking he will stare at other dogs but we are not yet sure how he feels about them. We will update this bio when we learn more. Higgins is another seemingly well behaved, healthy-looking dog who was not reclaimed. He is currently in a back kennel so if you come in and don't see him, please just ask!
