Happy National Dog Day! Can you tell Cerberus (A269198) is excited about the nice weather? This energetic one-year-old boy LOVES going outside for playtime 🐶🥎. Throw a ball for him to fetch, and he may run a lap (or three) before finally bringing it back 😂.

Cerberus is neutered, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. Come meet him today!🐾
