| Comments | Swisher is an energetic, happy dog. When he wags his tail in a happy display, his entire rear end wags right with it! He knows sit and our Paws to Train volunteers are working on good leash walking manners and attention skills. Swisher has shown some interest in toys and may develop more when he is in a comfortable home. |
