06/25/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: With a coat as soft as velvet, and markings like the finest wood grain, Midnight wags his tail at me as I unlatched his door. Easily leashed we’re out the door where Midnight’s first priority is going potty (a lot!). His leash manners are lovely and we chat as we head to the park. Wagging his tail at kids and all the people passing, he’s easy and seems comfortable with a bit of park chaos on a warm afternoon. Midnight doesn’t mind being tethered, poses for pictures, takes treats gently and at one point lay down froggy style to enjoy an under the chin scratch. Alert, curious and friendly, Midnight surveys the park as we snuggle on the park bench, and we then snuggle some more in a quiet hallway where Midnight gives me lots of kisses! In group play Midnight greets politely and shows off his amorous side with the female helper dog until corrected. When our time together was over, Midnight hopped back into his kennel, giving me a smile and a wave of his tail. Easy to be with, sweet and oh so charming, he’s been gorgeously taken care of and his slender good looks are a feast for the eyes. Come meet him today.
