A volunteer updates:   I loved him the first time, and I love him now. Adopted and returned due to allergies, Bishop continues to impress.  He’s housetrained, mostly good on the leash, friendly to all, and dressed to impress – he’s GORGEOUS!  Posing for photos in the park he makes soft eye contact, goes into a down for a treat which he takes gently, ignores other dogs we pass, thinks birds are fun to chase, and makes friends with a woman who wants to meet him.  Stand up hugs are delish, his sweet gentle kisses divine…..yes, I’m in love.  His former adopter tells us that Bishop lived playfully and lovingly with a 2 year old,  is scared of fireworks, doesn’t guard his food, and enjoys taking a bath in a tub.  He confirmed Bishop’s housetraining skills, is well behaved when left home alone, and knows ‘sit’, ‘down’ and ‘stay’.    In playgroup Bishop is social and playful, offering bows to solicit play.   An all around fabulous boy, Bishop is looking for a new person or family to love.   Will you be the lucky one to make him yours?

A volunteer writes:   Is it possible to improve upon puppy perfection?  I think you’ll have to meet Bishop and decide for yourself.   This gorgeous pup wears a lush, well groomed honey color coat, an ear to ear grin and a quiet, calm and friendly personality.   He seems to be housetrained, peeing enough to raise the Hudson River by 5 inches as soon as we were out the door – one long pee and called it a day!  When he took care of his ‘big business’ he looked up at me waiting for his “good boy” and he looked so proud of himself!  Cute beyond words!  His disposition is bright and sunny, matching the great smile he wears as well as his ever wagging tail.  Stopping in the park to take some pictures he poses like a super model making soft eye contact, showing off his ‘sit’, and taking treats gently.  Done with pictures I sat down to take some notes, and Bishop lay quietly at my feet watching the afternoon park activities unfold.  School kids marching by, balls tossed, dogs out being walked, bikes whizzing by…. Bishop watched it all easily.  As some dogs pass us on the way back he gives a little bounce in an invitation to play – so cute to see.   This is a rock star young dog who is going to make someone an amazing companion. Shouldn’t it be you?
