Meet Stallone: this gorgeous Golden Retriever/Shepherd/Chow Mix (we  think) came to us as an owner surrender just before he was headed to the  pound. He had spend the majority of his previous life outside in a  not-so-large yard and while he is quite people friendly and outgoing, he  doesn't know a lot about house rules and polite leash walking and  people greeting. He is very much a "Diamond in the rough with a little  dirt on it", he is food motivated and learns quickly, but is also a  little stubborn and single-minded: he LOVES squirrels - likely one of  his few entertainments in his small yard. He gets along well with other  dogs after proper introduction - due to his lack of knowledge of rules  and manners he tends to be inappropriate and a little "humpy". He is  reasonably polite when meeting other dogs but would much prefer to be  the only dog in his home.

Stallone is looking for a moderately dog-experienced home without  another dog in it, older kids may be fine. He has moderate exercise  requirements and a good daily walk should suffice for him.
