Sumo

Sumo is a 5-year-old, 54-pound brindle pittie mix, equal parts snuggly sidekick and curious explorer. He's always up for adventures and does well in the car. He loves walks, happily trotting alongside you, and then curling up on the couch to pretend he is a lap dog. His foster says he is incredibly sweet, very cuddly, and gets along with people and kids.

Sumo is housetrained and a fast learner who already knows sit, down, wait, and go to your spot. He is playful and full of personality. He absolutely loves tug-of-war and enthusiastically chases after a ball, even if he is still working on bringing it back. He can also settle down beautifully when asked, and makes a wonderful work-from-home companion.

With other dogs, Sumo likes to wrestle and has a goofy playstyle. On leash, he shows interest but can pass by them with calm, easy confidence. He would do well in a home with a dog friend, or as the only dog with some buddies to visit.
