Plenty of Pets
Kramer is a big, fun guy with lots of energy.
He’s a one-year-old Doberman/Rottweiler mix who weighs about 85 pounds.
He loves everyone he meets and enjoys playing with other dogs. He likes children, but because he’s young and energetic a home with older children would be best.
He’s house trained and crate trained but still needs to learn a few things, like walking on lead without pulling.
He’d love to be in a home with another energetic dog he can play with, but no cats.
Kramer is neutered; vaccinated, treated for parasites and micro chipped. He comes with 30-days of free pet insurance courtesy of 24PetWatch. His adoption fee is $350.00.
